10045''Dragging a gold brick''to a hop does n''t sound romantic, does it?"
10045And, Dave, what sort of place is Annapolis, anyway?"
10045As he turned to Belle, that young lady demanded lightly:"Is that pirate one of your friends, Dave?"
10045As the two midshipmen strolled slowly back in the direction of Chow Hop''s, Dave murmured:"Now, you see why I took this step?"
10045Blab, and see me driven out of the Navy?"
10045But the fellow who drags any femme--""Please--?"
10045But the question is, are we ever going to pick up?
10045But they could n''t see our little heads above the big waves, and so----""They''ve gone away and left us?"
10045But what has all this to do with opium smoking?"
10045But what seems to be the worst grind of all-- the real blue paint?"

10045Did you ever study handwriting, Miss Stevens?"
10045Do you care to shake hands?"
10045Do you feel that the Navy can afford to lose a fighting man like that youngster?"
10045Do you understand that, Mr. David Darrin?"
10045Has something gone wrong?"
10045He can knock me clean down the Bay and into the Atlantic Ocean, but what credit is there in it for a first classman to thrash a youngster?"
10045I fancy it''s just about the same here, is n''t it?"
10045In what way shall I do it, Hallam?
10045Is all right with you?"
10045Is it your highest ambition to become an officer of the Navy?"
10045Is that the girl?"
10045Midshipman Hallam remained silent for some moments before he next asked:"How did it happen?"
10045Now, a fellow who has fastened the opium habit on himself is n''t fit to go on, is he?"
10045Now, did we?"
10045One of our youngsters?
10045Tell me-- will you marry me some day?"
10045Then Dave proposed:"Would n''t you like us to escort you through the Academy grounds, so that you can get a good idea of the place in daylight?"

10045What?"
10045When you were in the third class did you have all the studies that we have now?"
10045Where?
10045Who were the men?
10045Why could n''t you have left me to my fate?"
10045Will everybody please remain where he is until after the exposure has been made?"
10045Will you all hurry along?"
10045Will you excuse me, Miss Meade?"
10045You fellows are not going to leak about my little mishap?"

5729As Peggy and Polly looked out over the bay and up the river that perfect morning Peggy cried:"Oh, Polly COULD anything be lovelier than this day?
5729As she ran up the four steps giving upon the lawn she asked half laughingly, half seriously:"Heavy weather, Daddy Neil?

5729How had she ever done it?
5729How shall you get back to your place?"
5729I ca n''t leave that child vegetating here any longer, yet who will come to live with her or where shall I send her?"
5729I dare say you will think it odd, but my companions are mostly four- footed ones, though I am-- what shall I call it?
5729I wonder if other girls''names can be twisted around into as many picture puzzles as mine can?
5729I wonder if she would want a literally''broken''horse?
5729I wonder why it IS so, Polly?
5729I''ll never forget you and I wonder if I shall ever hear of you or see you again?"
5729If so wisely ordered in some respects, why not in all?
5729If so, where?
5729Is it possible after all these years?
5729Is n''t it pretty?"
5729Is n''t it queer how just a little thing will sometimes turn your plans all around?"
5729Is n''t she a beauty?
5729Is there any end to my nicknames?
5729Is this your carriage?
5729Is yo''know de time?"
5729It did not seem possible, yet how COULD two people look so alike and not have some kinship to account for it?
5729It does n''t seem just right, does it?"
5729It is a Russian wolfhound, is n''t it?"
5729Kin YO''see de clock, Mis''Jones?"
5729Let those lobsters from the''Chi''beat us out?
5729Like the very dickens?
5729MOST need?
5729Ma Lawd, wha''Massa Neil gwine do to we- all when he hyar DAT?
5729Most need?
5729Mrs. Harold blushed like a girl as she asked:"Have my sins found me out?"
5729Mrs. Harold pulled a love- lock as she answered:"You train your colts, girlie, and they are the better for their training, are n''t they?"
5729Mrs. Harold smiled approvingly and Polly cried:"Yes, does n''t it?
5729Must the old order of things which she so loved, and all the precious freedom of action, give way to something entirely new?
5729Neil Stewart paused, looked at her a moment and asked abruptly:"Peggy, how would you like to go to a boarding school?"
5729No?
5729Nun''s veilin''?"
5729Oh, Dad, did you know they could jump and run like that?"
5729Oh, Shashai, Shashai, is thy heart reached only through thy stomach?"
5729Oh, Shashai, will you never learn manners?"
5729Oh, how did it?"
5729Old Jerome who was serving her in the pretty delft breakfast- room took an old retainer''s privilege to ask:"What''musin''you, honey- chile?"
5729Peggy, baby, what have you done with my little girl?"
5729Please do n''t think me inquisitive, but would you mind telling me something about your horses?
5729Poor little Peggy, how could she analyze it?
5729Presently he asked Peggy:"Do you think you could handle a launch, little girl?"
5729Pulling up her own span she said to Jess:"Oh, Jess, how CAN any one treat them so?
5729Shall I call him?"
5729Shall you ride cross or side?
5729She must have slipped in while we were sound asleep, and oh, I do n''t wonder we slept after that dance, do you?"
5729She--""What dat yo''tellin''me, baby?
5729Shelby will bear me out in that, wo n''t you?"
5729Should Peggy be sent to school?
5729Slipping to his side she said:"Are n''t you proud to be the very first to wear it?
5729Something doing?
5729The admiral of the fleet, the captain and the officers straight down to the very stokers?
5729The colt shook his head impatiently as though asking:"Wherefor the need?
5729Then the young girl broke into a perfect ecstasy of delight as she cried:"Oh, how do you do it?
5729Then, it changed suddenly as she asked:"But where is Doctor Claudius?"
5729Then:"How do you do, Aunt Katharine?
5729Thought you''d get off scot- free, did you?
5729WE all do, do n''t we?
5729Was not Daddy Neil beside her, and in her private opinion the finest looking officer present?
5729We''ve got to get around that, have n''t we?
5729Well why not?
5729What do you call ten people besides yourself?"
5729What do you say, sons?"
5729What do you think?
5729What fo''yo''bring Roy up hyer?
5729What kill her?"
5729What sort of people can they be, any way?"
5729What was it in the girl''s voice which commanded obedience?
5729What''s de matter?
5729What''s that?"
5729What''s the hour?"
5729What?
5729What?
5729When breakfast ended Mrs. Harold said:"Can you young people give me about two hours out of your day?
5729When did you do it?
5729Where de Empress at?"
5729Who had taught her to ride like that?
5729Who under the sun would take his part?
5729Who''gwine feed an''clothe and shelter dose pore lambs?
5729Whoever taught ye?"
5729Whom should he choose?
5729Whose sons are you?
5729Why does n''t he head inshore?"
5729Why have we never known of Severndale?
5729Why not?
5729Why, Nelly, have you been ill?"
5729Will they understand what a prize they have got?
5729Will you come to the surrey?"
5729Will you give me just one more year of this glorious freedom?
5729Will you shake hands with me, miss?
5729Will you wire your people that you''re going with us?
5729Wonder if there are any more?
5729Would n''t I have been ashamed of myself now?"
5729Would you like to try Star, Miss Polly?
5729Yet how solve the problem?
5729Yo''gwine start hawsestealin''?"
5729Yo''hear ME?"
5729You and Tzaritza and Shashai?
5729You dear, dear boy, were n''t you simply petrified when you saw that darling child plunge overboard?
5729You mean ginger?
5729_ I_ can put it into words, or sing it, but you two?
5729_ I_''S a cullured person, but she''s jist pure nigger, yo''hyar me?"
5729cared for?
5729chaperoned?
12774A fight, eh?
12774A joke, eh?
12774Alcohol?
12774And I also, sir?
12774And now I suppose some of the fellows are trying to build up an altar to Darrin as the class idol?
12774And that perhaps you''ve saved us from bilging?
12774And there''s no fire?
12774And what if you ca n''t stop it?
12774And you are also certain that none but Mr. Henkel entered that room up to the time when the disorder was discovered by Lieutenant Nettleson?
12774And you have been sprinkling it on this midshipman''s uniform? 12774 And you wo n''t be friendly with Darrin?"
12774And yourself?
12774Any midshipmen out around the town, sir?
12774Any more''roast''for me?
12774Any relative of the Darrin mentioned in the elegy you have just been reading?
12774Are you Tony?
12774Are you both a bit touge?
12774Are you going to turn greaser, and stay greaser?
12774Are you hard up at Christmas, Tony?
12774Are you trying to fan up the embers of my wrath against Darrin?
12774Are you with me?
12774As a matter of vital fact, Mr. Farley,interrupted the commandant of midshipmen,"did you at any time relax such vigilance, even for a few seconds?"
12774Awful?
12774Business good?
12774But are you nervous?
12774But are you sure he did it? 12774 But how?"
12774But not all in? 12774 But really, about being nervous--""Oh, forget that sort of nonsense, wo n''t you, Dan, old fellow?"
12774But see here, mister, what''s this about you and your class that I''ve heard? 12774 But what has that to do with me?
12774But what is the matter with your sleeves?
12774But you were not responsible for any of these seeming delinquencies on Mr. Darrin''s part?
12774Ca n''t you go on?
12774Can you bring him out easily?
12774Candidates, gentlemen? 12774 Candidates, gentlemen?"
12774Candidates, like ourselves, you mean?
12774Cheap- looking lot, most of them, are n''t they?
12774Come, come, mister, from the very exact narrative that I have given, ca n''t you deduce the telephone number of that laundry?
12774Dan, why in the world are you so fresh?
12774Danny boy, have you heard any talk against me today?
12774Dave, you did n''t leave your things in any such shape as that?
12774Dave,_ they say you informed on them, and got them caught!_"What?
12774Did Mr. Dalzell leave your room with you when you went to your last recitation?
12774Did anyone ever get a full four?
12774Did he deny guilty intention in being there?
12774Did you always make good?
12774Did you ask Grierson, Farley?
12774Did you leave the room, Mr. Dalzell, after Mr. Darrin, or even with him?
12774Did you notice the ice- bath that fellow threw over me?
12774Did you recognize any of the fight party, Mr. Hall? 12774 Did you recognize the voice of the man who gave the fire- call?"
12774Did you then immediately send Mr Page to the officer in charge?
12774Do I look as though I had been fighting?
12774Do n''t you know how to wipe a grin off your face?
12774Do n''t you understand?
12774Do you deliberately state that I informed upon you, or caused you to be informed upon?
12774Do you feel inclined to be touge, mister?
12774Do you feel that way, mister?
12774Do you mean by putting up a job on Darrin?
12774Do you mean that my cousin lied to me?
12774Do you mean to say I lie?
12774Do you see many of these ten- dollar bills nowadays, Tony?
12774Do you suppose he''s there?
12774Do you think I can stand that? 12774 Do you understand that this is a crime, you knave, and that I can place you under arrest and have you sent to the penitentiary for years?"
12774Do you, mister?
12774Does Farley say that I sneaked in information against him?
12774Does n''t it smell a little as though some one had been smoking in here?
12774Fair? 12774 Gentlemen,"broke in Dave quietly,"do you see the time on the clock over on the academic building?
12774Going to be with us, Dalzell? 12774 Going to town?"
12774Good luck, eh?
12774Good old Dave leaks too slow at the spout, does he?
12774Got a pair of beasts at work, fellows?
12774Got him safe?
12774Great Scott, do n''t those fellows know that a sailboat has the right of way over a power craft?
12774Have you seen another copy of the''Bazoo''lately, mister?
12774How are you, Mr. Darrin? 12774 How can we tell,"demanded Farley impatiently,"until you come down out of the thunder clouds, and tell us just what you mean?"
12774How did you find it out, Farley?
12774How? 12774 How?"
12774How?
12774I?
12774If it is n''t meekness, then what is it? 12774 Intoxicated, eh?
12774Is it fair, Farley, for me to ask you whether you suspected Henkel before you caught him?
12774Is it improper, sir, for me to ask whether we have passed?
12774Is n''t it?
12774Is n''t that about all you want to say?
12774Is that the best way you can find to enjoy yourself?
12774Is-- Darrin-- dead?
12774It''s only my teeth, eh? 12774 It?"
12774Just awful, is n''t it?
12774Just what are you driving at? 12774 Let me see; is n''t it about time that you squared matters up with Darrin?"
12774Like this, sir?
12774Looks like rather good material, does n''t he, Bender?
12774May I speak, sir?
12774May we come in?
12774Me? 12774 Meek?"
12774Mistake?
12774Mister, did you give that call of fire?
12774Mister, what''s your name?
12774Mister, what''s your name?
12774Mister,cried Midshipman Trotter, favoring Darrin with a glance of frank friendliness,"do you know that you saved us from frapping the pap hard?"
12774Mr. Dalzell, do you care to go further?
12774Mr. Henkel, did you arrange any or all of the disorder which Lieutenant Nettleson reported having found in Mr. Darrin''s room?
12774Mr. Henkel, do you wish to modify your previous statements in any way?
12774Mr. Henkel, was Mr. Darrin''s bed turned down and in its present disordered state when you entered the room?
12774Mr. Henkel, what are you doing in the room of another midshipman, in the absence of both occupants? 12774 My case?"
12774My face?
12774Names? 12774 Not even a solitary, teeny little word, eh?"
12774Now, has this thing broken loose again?
12774Now, how soon do we get our messenger- boy uniforms? 12774 Now, mister,"continued the quizzing visitor, transfixing Dalzell with a look of tremendous sternness,"can you talk French?"
12774Now, then,rasped out Midshipman Trotter,"that being the state of affairs at the laundry--_what was the telephone number_?"
12774Now, what are you butting in for, you greasy greaser?
12774Oh, an official visit-- is that it?
12774Oh, well, it ca n''t be helped-- can it?
12774Oh, you''re here, are you?
12774Page, you have more spirit than that, have n''t you?
12774Pardon me, gentlemen, but are you on your way to the Naval Academy?
12774Putting up a job on a man usually calls for trickery, does n''t it?
12774Shall I take him near the gate in a cab, or walk him there?
12774Should I make an official report of this whole matter? 12774 Sir, do you believe that I fought with entire fairness?"
12774So, in spite of all explanations, you still have no use for Darrin?
12774Suppose you lead the way?
12774Sure?
12774Surely, you are not going to let the dead dog lie?
12774That is all you wish to say to me, sir?
12774That satisfies your notions of honor, does it, with regard to a man who not only injured you, but pounded your face to a fearful pulp?
12774That was right, was n''t it? 12774 That''s a swell hotel where they''re going to put us up for four years, is n''t it?"
12774The--_what_, mister?
12774Then I infer, sir, that you do not wish to waste any more time upon me?
12774Then are n''t you nervous, just now?
12774Then how did these articles come to be in your possession?
12774Then what should I do?
12774Then who did?
12774Then why get nervous about the folks down at the Naval Academy? 12774 Then will you accept my tardy apology, and let us be friends?"
12774Then you are unable to call your roommate to support your assertion that you did not smoke before going with your section to recitation in English?
12774Then you do n''t expect sailors of the Navy to stand for the kind of voice that is being developed in you in Recreation Hall?
12774Then you fellows are going to play the meek waiting game with Darrin, are you?
12774Then you will kindly explain what he tried to do to me?
12774Then you''re with us, Dalzell?
12774Then, Mr. Farley, you are certain that there was no disorder in Mr. Darrin''s room at the time when he and Mr. Dalzell left to recite in mathematics? 12774 They were_ not in my possession_, sir, were they?"
12774This, Mr. Nettleson, I understand, relates to Mr. Darrin''s late apparent course in matters of discipline?
12774Tony, have you a small bottle of lemon soda that''s good and cold?
12774Trickery is n''t the practice of a gentleman, is it?
12774Trouble?
12774Tub race?
12774Was Mr. Darrin''s washbowl in its present untidy state?
12774Was he Alone?
12774Was n''t that a midshipman?
12774Well, now see here, Farley, and you, too, Page, what has happened? 12774 Well, see here,"went on Henkel coaxingly,"are we men of spirit, or are we not?
12774Well, what do you plan to do further in the matter?
12774Well, what do you think of that?
12774What about it?
12774What about supper, sir?
12774What ails me?
12774What are you doing here?
12774What are you doing, old chap?
12774What are you trying to do?
12774What did they tell us this lower deck was named?
12774What do you mean by that word?
12774What do you mean?
12774What does a mere fourth class man know about the Navy, anyway?
12774What does a midshipman look like?
12774What is that?
12774What is that?
12774What is your name?
12774What nonsense are you talking now?
12774What way, sir?
12774What you drink?
12774What''s on?
12774What''s the idea of making operatic stars out of us?
12774What''s the matter? 12774 What''s your name, mister?"
12774What''s your name, mister?
12774What''s yours, mister? 12774 What, then?"
12774When? 12774 Where are you headed?"
12774Which one of you is the better athlete?
12774Who won?
12774Why ca n''t you?
12774Why did n''t you let me at the sneak?
12774Why did n''t you shake your fist while they were in the room?
12774Why did you bring out your handkerchief, mister?
12774Why do n''t you mix it up faster?
12774Why should I?
12774Why, is n''t business good now, Tony?
12774Why, what good is hazing doing you?
12774Why?
12774Will it do as well, Danny boy, if I follow in fifteen or twenty minutes?
12774Will one of the first class men serve as crew captain, sir?
12774Will you do me a favor, sir?
12774With that anchor on his collar?
12774Wo n''t I?
12774Would it do any good to ask for a class committee, and to bring Brimmer before it?
12774Would n''t I like to take peep in on Henkel, now, while the commandant is grilling him in that gentle way the commandant has?
12774You are a candidate, I suppose? 12774 You are aware that Mr. Darrin has been punished by the imposition of a great many demerits for untidiness in the care of his equipment?"
12774You are candidates, like ourselves, I take it?
12774You are candidates, then?
12774You declare this on your honor as a midshipman and gentleman?
12774You did n''t expect me, sir, to include any praise of myself, in my official report?
12774You did not turn down, disarrange and soil his bed this forenoon, or create the appearance of untidiness in connection with Mr. Darrin washbowl?
12774You do n''t notice any on my friend''s breath, do you? 12774 You have n''t been hitting anyone have you?
12774You know Midsheepman Brimmer?
12774You make these denials on your word of honor, as a midshipman and gentleman?
12774You mean the uniform?
12774You questioned Mr. Henkel as to his reason for being in the room?
12774You said that you go by the hotel, I think?
12774You tell me that I am making a false statement?
12774You tell other midsheepmen they come here, sare?
12774You want a room together, gentlemen?
12774Your orders?
12774Are you on?"
12774Are you ready?"
12774Are you ready?"
12774As the section was marching back to Bancroft Dan whispered:"Dave, did you hear the old owl go''too- whoo''at me in the section room?"
12774Ca n''t we spring a game that will wipe all his grease- marks off the efficiency slate?"
12774Ca n''t you stand up and fight square?"
12774Can you fix it?"
12774Coming along?"
12774Dalzell?"
12774Danny boy, do you suppose it has cost me no effort to keep my hands at my trousers- seams when I wanted to throw my fists out in front of me?
12774Darrin?"
12774Darrin?"
12774Darrin?"
12774Do you follow me, misters?"
12774Do you hear my voice falter?
12774Do you imagine I have just tamely submitted to a lot of abuse because my spirit was broken?
12774Do you see me shaking?
12774Do you want to try to sit up?"
12774Does it make very much difference in which year I turn that life over to the Flag?"
12774Enjoy a little help?"
12774Farley?"
12774Henley?"
12774How many hundred rules are you going to commit to memory tonight?
12774If Farley was in his room for purposes of study, then what kind of"study"could it be?
12774It seems a bit tough, does n''t it, Danny boy?"
12774It was not long, however, before Dan Dalzell''s agonized query shot over the waters:"Where''s grand old Darrin?"
12774Mister,"to Dalzell,"why did you come here?"
12774Mister,"to Dave,"what did you come to the Naval Academy for?"
12774Mr. Farley, will you now state just what you saw, while watching this forenoon?"
12774Now, mister, what depraved sheet do you hold in your hands?"
12774On what point was his physical condition doubtful?
12774Page and yourself made, who was the first person that you saw enter Mr. Darrin''s room?"
12774Page?"
12774See me burning any blue lights?
12774Setting your course toward the grease mark are you?"
12774So-- but is this tangled tale clear to you all as far as I have gone?"
12774That''s not a vitally important point, is it, sir?"
12774Then the other visitor demanded:"Do either of you fourth class men intend to try to be ratey?"
12774Then what am I accused of doing?
12774Then, still gripping his astounded, dismayed foe, Darrin demanded:"Tony, is this the fellow who paid you to drug my friend?
12774We were going to lead the german-- and, say, Dave, what were some of the other fool things we expected to find happiness in doing at Annapolis?
12774Were these medical officers going to find, in his mouth, the clue his disqualification?
12774Were they hence- forth to find this huge pile"home"for four years to come?
12774What about it all, mister?"
12774What do you mean?"
12774What do you say if we step promptly over to the administration building and plunge into what''s ahead of us?"
12774What earthly good would a Naval officer be who was going to get nervous as soon as he came in sight of an enemy?"
12774What had they missed?
12774What have you to say that will clear you?"
12774What was to be done with the remains of the unsuccessful disputant?"
12774What would be the outcome?
12774What''s your real proposition?"
12774Who cares?"
12774Who put you up to this miserable business?
12774Whom?"
12774Why are you trying to make me mad by such frequent references to the fact that Darrin won his fight with me?"
12774Would they, through all after life, look back upon this great government training school as their alma mater?
12774Would you care to be kicked out of the Academy?"
12774Would you tell your chum to frap the pap for a little thing like that, and take demerits unto himself?"
12774Yet what need was there to fear report with roommate Farley thus industriously standing by the door?
12774You are the fellow who runs the temperance drinks place?
12774You do n''t think of calling Mister Darrin out again, do you?"
12774You follow me?"
12774You hear me?
12774You know that Farley and his little crowd got caught last night, when they returned from their Frenching party over the wall?"
12774You understand?"
12774You''re a midshipman, are n''t you?"
12774You''ve caught some real athletes, have you?"
12774against that industrious greaser?
12774here?"
12774repeated Quimby, reddening"What do you mean, sir?"
22113A Southern ranch?
22113A responsibility, Aunt Katherine?
22113Ai n''t they a- goin''with you, Miss Peggy?
22113An''what_ she_ been a- sayin''ter yo''?
22113And Rosalie? 22113 And do you expect to cling to childish habits all your days, Peggy dear?
22113And do you suppose there can ever be anything like it again?
22113And have I ever ordered any changes made in her rules?
22113And what, may I inquire, is your very worst then? 22113 And you really raised those splendid horses yourself?
22113Are n''t we to wait until Daddy Neil comes back?
22113Are n''t you even going to tell Polly?
22113Are they to go to the hop?
22113Are you apprehensive of her becoming so?
22113Are you ready, Aunt Katherine?
22113Are_ ours_ abused, Polly?
22113Assembly? 22113 At stake?
22113At what time do you start?
22113But how did you know she wished you?
22113But when will they learn about their leave? 22113 But why do you call him by that absurd name?
22113But, Mrs. Harold, are n''t first classmen really-- well-- don''t they come in for greater privileges? 22113 Ca n''t the boys ever get leave to visit their friends?"
22113Ca n''t you and Peggy give it to us on a small scale? 22113 Could n''t she have telephoned?
22113Could n''t ye just knot hup them tails a bit, and mebbe braid that fly- away mane down along the crest? 22113 Do n''t you think Juno Gibson is handsome?"
22113Do you always give them sugar? 22113 Do you mean to say they understand and will really bring Jess here?"
22113Do you really wish me to show you something of their intelligence, Mrs. Vincent? 22113 Do you think I''m going to let this side- wheeler shipwreck me?
22113Do you think they always live up to the agreement?
22113Do you think we are a lot of crazy schoolboys and expect to settle our disagreements with a regular fist- a- cuff bout? 22113 Do you want to try it again?"
22113Does Polly know?
22113Eh? 22113 Going in for the trapeze?
22113Had he seen the cab?
22113Has she ever attacked anyone before, Peggy?
22113Have I been a responsibility to you since you came here? 22113 Have you ever had a_ boy_ cover your hands with kisses?"
22113Honest?
22113How about Stella Drummond?
22113How long have you been observing this wonderful wonder?
22113How many five- stripers are there?
22113How''d I know, Mist''ss? 22113 I wonder why not?"
22113If I go to the Columbia Heights School what will Ralph say? 22113 If you had no other, what could you do?"
22113Is n''t it funny you girls never saw him while you were at Severndale?
22113Is n''t it good just to be alive on such a day?
22113Making a list of all your dances and Christmas frolicings, little- er- ahem--, Miss?
22113Miss Howland, what was the cause of the wild shrieks which disturbed me a moment since? 22113 Occupy_ this_ suite?"
22113Oh, Daddy, did you really meet Mrs. Harold and Polly, and who was with them?
22113Oh, Polly, will you? 22113 Oh, are they such, wonders as all that?"
22113Oh, are you a- speakin''to me, ma''am?
22113Oh, how did you make them do it? 22113 Oh, indeed?
22113Oh, my bonny one, how could you?
22113Oh, was he a man? 22113 Oh, what is it all about?"
22113Oh, what is it? 22113 Oh, who does it?
22113Oh,_ where_ did they come from?
22113Peggy, how_ can_ you have such a savage creature near you? 22113 Polly, what happened?''
22113Poor Tzaritza, you did what you believed to be your duty, did n''t you? 22113 Poor Tzaritza, you got into trouble because I lost my temper, did n''t you?
22113Shall I?
22113Shall you go home at Easter?
22113Snap says he''s just wise to everything, and did you ever see anything so absurd as those clown tricks the jackies taught him?
22113So you have come into the school to set its standards and correct its shortcomings, have you? 22113 Suppose we did shout and screech?
22113Tanta,asked Polly,"do you know that Lily Pearl Montgomery and Helen Doolittle are here at Wilmot with Helen''s uncle?
22113Those wavering, clear, electric beams, Who''ll guess how much their message means? 22113 To win and hold a love so pure, A faith so stanch, so strong, so sure-- To gain a confidence so rare-- What honors can with these compare?
22113Understanda horse?
22113Well, we''re_ here_,was Polly''s undisputable statement as she snuggled down under her bed- covers,"and now that we are what do you think of it?"
22113Well, what is it to be this morning?
22113What I gwine do wid all dis hyer truck, Missie- honey?
22113What dat yo''say? 22113 What did you say to her, baby?"
22113What for? 22113 What is it, Polly?"
22113What is it-- Little Mother?
22113What is this?
22113What time are we to go to Severndale tomorrow, Little Mother?
22113What you a- talking about, you little fool nigger?
22113What''s brought you down here, honey?
22113What''s that?
22113What''s the matter? 22113 Where is Helen tonight?"
22113Where is John?
22113Where''s Jess?
22113Which, the midshipmen or the stripes?
22113Why did n''t you tell me you''d never ridden?
22113Why do they start at night?
22113Why must they rush back on the very minute?
22113Why not? 22113 Why, he wants you and the Little Mother and Durand and Ralph and Jean and Gordon--""Gordon?"
22113Why, what do you mean, Helen?
22113Why? 22113 Will a fish swim?"
22113Will they stand like that without being tied?
22113Would you really like to know, dear? 22113 Yes, are n''t they just the dearest ever?
22113Yes, it is exceedingly damp today, but do you think we ought to allow externals to affect us?
22113Yes, what_ did_ she want?
22113_ Are n''t_ we doing something? 22113 _ Not yet?_"emphasized Miss Sturgis.
22113A lump of sugar awaited each obedient animal, and Jess asked:"What yo''wantin''ob Jess, baby- honey?"
22113A real_ man_?
22113Ai n''t she done come in fer her breckfus yit?
22113Am_ I_ all wrong, or is Aunt Katherine different from everybody else?
22113An''ma chile gotter wait a hull hour pas''her breckfus time jist kase Madam Fussa- ma- fiddle ai n''t choose fer ter git up?
22113And Juno?
22113And Nelly?
22113And all the others, too?
22113And big?
22113And if they are to go out to Severndale tonight how will they manage?"
22113And that west wing and its contents?
22113And was n''t Tzaritza regal with Rhody?"
22113And was the experiment a red letter one?
22113And what of Nelly?
22113And who''s taken Gumshoe''s place this year?
22113And you surely do not think I do it to invite observation?
22113And you''re out for basketball too?
22113Are n''t we encouraging him and helping on a good show?"
22113Are you ready for your breakfast, Aunt Katherine?"
22113Are you so very superior to your companions-- you and your protà © gà © e?"
22113As he settled Rosalie in her seat he asked:"How many Miss Boylstons have you got at Columbia Heights?"
22113Bol''var?"
22113But are_ you_ going to dust?"
22113But had she ever given that fact a serious thought?
22113But what is wrong, Miss Peggy?
22113But what under the sun did Mrs. Vincent want of you, Peggy?"
22113CHAPTER XV IN SPRING TERM"Well, we all came back to earth with a thud, did n''t we?
22113Ca n''t we go right out there?"
22113Ca n''t_ you_ show me how, Dawson?
22113Can they all do that?
22113Did he say yes?
22113Did he wear a moustache?
22113Did n''t it take you forever and ever to teach them?
22113Did she"understand"those in her stable?
22113Did they"love"her?
22113Did you notice it, girls?"
22113Did your ears burn this afternoon, Peggy?
22113Did your father find it out, and what did he say?"
22113Do Peggy and Polly resemble''meal sacks?''
22113Do n''t you perfectly dote on her girls?
22113Do n''t you think the study of one''s fellow beings intensely interesting?''
22113Do you know what it will mean if I report you at Annapolis?
22113Do you remember Fräulein Shultz who was here the first year school opened, Marjorie?"
22113Do you think she will tell me?"
22113Do you understand it?"
22113Does n''t she seem an awful lot older than the rest of us?
22113Find the outlook inspiring?"
22113Good Lord, are you going to let drive with a gatling?
22113Great Scott, do you think I''m going to let_ this_ beat me out, or that yelling mob out yonder see me put out of commission?
22113Had Helen''s cousin returned, but when?
22113Had she miscalculated the depth of the pool after all?
22113Has she become incapable of voluntary locomotion?"
22113Have you ever seen one_ do_ it?"
22113Have you lost your ability to sit at the head of my table, daughter?"
22113Have you never heard them?
22113Have you no street cleaning department in your illustrious city?"
22113Have you not done a great deal for them?
22113Her father?
22113How about it?
22113How am I ever to be a co- ed in Annapolis and a pupil here at the same time?
22113How are you, Doctor?
22113How did you come out in Math and Mech?
22113How do you keep them so ravishingly white and your nails so absolutely faultless?
22113How far ahead do you reckon they are?"
22113How is Lily?"
22113How many women ever think of doing so?
22113How under the sun came I here?"
22113How would it fit with skirts all bunched up under it?
22113How would it seem to have no Severndale to run out to?
22113Howsoever, some folks seem to think they have, and what I am trying to get at is,_ have they_?
22113I know her and she knows me, do n''t you, old girl?"
22113I wish I were that Indian- Chinese- Jap god, what''s his name?
22113I wonder why?"
22113If you wish to know why I carried Helen out of the room I did it because she was running--""Doing what?
22113Is n''t it about time you began to think about growing up?
22113Is n''t it always better to believe a person honest until we prove him a thief, than to go the other way about it?
22113Is n''t that too good to believe?"
22113Is that what you say down here?"
22113Is there a weak face among them?
22113It was all said half- jestingly, half- seriously, but Juno gave her head a superior little toss as she answered:"And go looking like a meal sack?
22113It was jist gwine ter make some of dem pots bile over if it had a- kep''on, yo''hyer me?
22113July, August, and, let me see, twenty- five days of September since I left you?
22113Just as a sample of what we may hear some day?
22113Just then Mammy Lucy stuck her white- turbaned head in at the door to ask:"Whar dat chile at?
22113Keep Tzaritza out of the house and relegate the Sultana to the servant''s quarters?
22113Kingdom- come, is yo''think I''se come ter ma dotage?
22113Let''s see, which have we had most to do with since we came here twenty- four hours ago?
22113Lily, did the milliner put the trimming on the box and forget to send home the hat?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Mammy, is Aunt Katherine ready?"
22113May I walk to the gate with her?"
22113Mrs. Stewart laughed a low, incredulous laugh, then queried:"And you the daughter of Neil Stewart and a little Navy girl?
22113Mrs. Stewart looked about her in undisguised disappointment and asked:"Is_ this_ the capital city of the State of Maryland?
22113Mrs. Vincent had more than once said to herself:"Well, I certainly have four oddities to deal with:_ Who_ is Marjorie?
22113Mrs. Vincent nodded forgiveness, then turning to Stella, asked:"Were you here all the time, Stella?"
22113Mrs. Vincent smiled as she slipped an arm across Polly''s shoulder and asked:"Are you to be my newest girl?
22113My Lawd, what done possess Massa Neil fer ter''vite her down hyer?
22113My little girl, my little girl, have you needed Daddy Neil as much as this?"
22113My little girl, will you accept some suggestions regarding your toilet?"
22113No Peggy to pop into Middie''s Haven?
22113No boon companion to ride, walk, drive, skate with, or lead the old life which they had both so loved?
22113Now that''s the limit, ai n''t it?
22113Now, Polly, what is it?"
22113Of course, it is all wounded pride and affection, but who is to correct it?
22113Oh, which girls are you going to invite?
22113Oh, why ca n''t the parents think of the children they have brought into the world but who did not ask to come?
22113Or dream the wondrous tale they tell?
22113Or was it something in the fine, strong face which children and animals in common all trust with subtle intuition?
22113Pardon me if I make a note of it, and-- and--_how_ do you spell accomplished, Captain Stewart?
22113Peggy and Polly flew to him crying:"Did he say yes?
22113Peggy asked:"Are our horses ready, Dawson?"
22113Peggy slipped her arm about her and asked:"What makes you look so sober, Nellibus?"
22113Peggy was not ungrateful, but what had befallen the usual order of things?
22113Peggy, has she ever been separated from you before, dear?"
22113Peggy, were n''t you petrified when you struck''eight bells''at the hop, for the death of the old year?
22113Poor little Nelly Bolivar would have been a modest, sleek little Junco compared with the birds of paradise(?
22113Rate more?
22113Sat on a pin?"
22113Say, how is it to get out of my coat, Bantam?"
22113Shall I hail him?"
22113Shall I say anything to Shelby?"
22113Shall I tell you the message the flashes carry?
22113She might be Polly''s and Peggy''s friend-- well and good-- but who was she?
22113Slipping an arm about each girl as they sat beside her she asked:"What do you think of our horses, and of Dawson?
22113So now smiling across the table she said:"So you have decided to consider my suggestion, Neil?"
22113So you accept the bargain?
22113Stella, is your chafing- dish ready?"
22113That you never have and never could do anything to invite criticism?
22113The following Tuesday was Hallow E''en and where is your school- girl who does not revel in its privileges?
22113The horse''s well- being or mine?
22113The next second she was holding Peggy in her arms and almost sobbing herself as she besought her to tell"who done hurt ma baby?
22113Then Peggy asked:"What do you think of the girls?
22113Then after a moment she resumed:"O Shashai, what_ is_ the matter with everything?
22113Then she asked:"Wo n''t your father come East this spring for commencement?
22113Then the self- elected dictator spoke:"Peggy, dear, are you not to drive with me?"
22113Then with a guileless smile remarked:"Now you do n''t sesso?
22113There are-- how many of us?
22113There was a slight pause, in which Juno gave an impatient toss of her handsome head and asked in a bitterly ironical voice:"Are they?
22113This year''s?
22113To be"loved"by one?
22113Turn her over to your discipline, or crush her with one snap of my jaws?"
22113Twenty- four?
22113Understand?"
22113Vincent?"
22113Was n''t she the limit?
22113What are they trying to do now?"
22113What could she do alone?
22113What do they mean?"
22113What does become of all the children of divorced parents in this land of divorces?
22113What is it for?
22113What is likely to become of_ her_, poor child?
22113What is to become of that little pepper pot with all her loving impulses and self- will?
22113What makes you so tight with your news, any way?
22113What more could a conscientious school Principal ask of her riding master?
22113What possessed the woman to antagonize everyone with whom she came in touch?
22113What was the meaning of it?
22113What''s at stake, Little Mother?"
22113What''s rattled you like this?
22113What?
22113What?"
22113When is I see you a cryin''like dis befo''?
22113When they reached her corridor she said to Juno:"Little girl, will you come into my room a moment?''
22113Where did you and Peggy catch and bottle up all your worldly wisdom?"
22113Where did you come from?"
22113Which is the particular He, Peggy?
22113Which of these fellows will be there?"
22113Who but she could fill that office?
22113Who could help loving them?"
22113Whose could it be?
22113Why could it not have gone on?
22113Why did you carry Helen from the room?
22113Why do n''t you quote Helen Taft to us instead of Queen Mary?
22113Why does n''t that man drive him out?"
22113Why in this world should they?
22113Why not?
22113Why not?
22113Why should they?
22113Will any horse come if you know how to call him?
22113Will you let him do so by coming down here with Peggy?"
22113Will you show us?
22113Will you?"
22113With a pious"Ma Lawd- God- Amighty, what done happen?"
22113Within a few moments two girls appeared in the doorway, the taller one asking:"Did you wish to see us, Mother?"
22113Would it be fair?
22113Would it be scorching hot?
22113Would she find a welcome among the Delacys, the Vanderstacks, the Dryers and heaven knows which- or- whats of New York''s glitterers?
22113Would there be moon- light nights?
22113Would you like to drive in?"
22113Yet did you ever_ see_ anything so graceful as those two girls and that magnificent dog when they went over?
22113Yet if she lost sight of them what might not take place?
22113Yet, why not?
22113Yo''hyer me?"
22113You are planning a house- party?
22113You see it is only two weeks off and the Little Mother has not said anything about it, has she, Polly?"
22113You think I am too sweeping in my assertion?
22113You will come again-- yes, often-- and where I can help, count upon me-- always?
22113_ This_ little town?"
22113cried Peggy, aghast,"Tzaritza attacked_ you_, Polly?"
22113who brought you?"
10319A part of it runs:''Said the ant to the elephant,Who are ye shoving?
10319A small crowd wo n''t be any bar to that, eh?
10319Achilles? 10319 Acquaintance?
10319After he has already graduated from Academy? 10319 All right, then; will you ask Laura Bentley, or shall we, from here?"
10319Am I obliged, sir, to give her name in the matter?
10319And I am the cause of all this trouble for you?
10319And are you enjoying yourself?
10319And attacked some civilians?
10319And especially to third classmen?
10319And now you wo n''t mind if I cut my visit short? 10319 And now you''ve got to tell her-- what?"
10319And so has commissioned you to appear for him?
10319And so not one of you has the slightest idea of the original nature of the quarrel in which you so readily took part? 10319 And we''re the elephants?"
10319And what have you to say about this?
10319And why did n''t Hepson call me?
10319And why not? 10319 And you are showing them the error of their ways?"
10319And you expect me, Mr. Darrin, to believe that?
10319And you think this year will be different?
10319And you three rushed in and pounded some civilians?
10319And you''re going to throw yourself away on such thankless missionary work, Darry?
10319Any further action?
10319Any further remarks?
10319Any further remarks?
10319Any remarks?
10319Appendix?
10319Are n''t there any good players who have been holding back?
10319Are n''t they splendid fellows?
10319Are n''t you people going?
10319Are they better than you two, Darry?
10319Are they going to cut me after this?
10319Are they much taller?
10319Are we going to have a storm?
10319Are we going to win?
10319Are we?
10319Are you afraid of him?
10319Are you afraid of the Army, Darry?
10319Are you fellows to rights?
10319Are you going to join the team?
10319Are you in trouble?
10319Are you sure that Mr. Darrin did protest?
10319As an upper classman, did Mr. Darrin order you to stop?
10319At the reception? 10319 Be a knave instead, eh?"
10319Belle, do n''t you know what the Army- Navy game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day is like? 10319 Bob, have you time to help me to stand up?"
10319Borrow one?
10319Brace up? 10319 Brown as berries, I suppose, after working down in the alkali deserts?"
10319But do you know what kind of show it is?
10319But see here, sir,interposed one of the other young men,"are your midshipmen to be allowed to go about pounding whom they like?
10319But what are we going to do,demanded the dissatisfied one,"now that we are outside the grounds?"
10319But what do you want to be sent to Coventry for?
10319But where could we go? 10319 But why do you want to be friends with a fellow like me?"
10319But you and Dalzell can hold''em, ca n''t you?
10319But you are afraid to inform the authorities of the identity of comrades who commit serious offenses?
10319But you think he wo n''t?
10319But you''ll work? 10319 Can one ever weary of dancing?"
10319Can the fellow really make any trouble for you, Dave?
10319Can you head Susie this way, Foss?
10319Can you make out Canty and Ella?
10319Can you make out Ella''s head?
10319Coffee berries?
10319Come, now, Darry, you''re going to be reasonable, are n''t you?
10319Contrary minded?
10319Could n''t the class decide that better than one man?
10319DID JETSON DO IT?.
10319Danny boy,groaned Dave,"will you ever grow up?
10319Did I understand you to remark that Miss Meade had made a false statement?
10319Did Jetson do it?
10319Did any one see the Hanniston infants arrive?
10319Did either of you gentlemen recognize the midshipman to whose rescue you rushed?
10319Did he disapprove of your acts?
10319Did n''t we play about as good a game as that pair?
10319Did n''t you recognize him when you went to his aid?
10319Did they do that,urged the last speaker,"when they sailed into us as they did?"
10319Did you really want to go out on the river, Belle?
10319Did you see him?
10319Did you, the friends of Mr. Crane, consider it the act of gentlemen for several to rush in and attack one man?
10319Do n''t you know that you did n''t?
10319Do we look it?
10319Do we?
10319Do you call it a foul trip?
10319Do you exonerate him completely?
10319Do you expect that I''ll do that?
10319Do you imagine that you and Dan Dalzell have n''t changed any, either?
10319Do you insinuate that I tried to put a scar on Mr. Darrin''s face?
10319Do you know, Belle, I ca n''t quite bring myself to believe that he is worthless?
10319Do you really think there''s danger of that?
10319Do you retract the statement you made?
10319Do you see the big puffs of wind in the clouds yonder?
10319Do you see the big rollers coming?
10319Do you think the boat is one of the kind that will turn turtle and sink the crowd?
10319Do you want a surgeon, either of you?
10319Do you wish I''d take some of the advice, old fellow?
10319Do you wish to remark that it is n''t?
10319Do you?
10319Does Mr. Jetson desire to take his coat off or not?
10319Does this little boy ever have a serious streak?
10319Ella who?
10319Even if you''re bounced out of the Naval Academy?
10319For what reason?
10319Going to do anything in particular this afternoon, David, little giant?
10319Going to help me in?
10319Going to slip your cable?
10319Going to take time for a close reef, Dave?
10319Going to the hop, Jet?
10319Going, Laura?
10319Got an idea?
10319Has Darrin been hurt-- our Darrin-- the great Darrin?
10319Has Hepson got the blues?
10319Has he dared to do that?
10319Has that anything to do with your call?
10319Have I got to tell her?
10319Have n''t they anything better to do with their time, then?
10319Have you ever seen any Indians?
10319Have you fellows any notion that we''ve a poor eleven, so far, this year?
10319He has n''t insulted you?
10319He looks to be in as good shape as ever does n''t he?
10319Hear about it?
10319Hepson,called one midshipman,"has anyone invented the Navy yells for this year?"
10319Holmes is n''t necessarily such a much, is he?
10319Honors?
10319How are we going to do it?
10319How are you on Frenching the wall, Danny boy?
10319How did Mr. Darrin do it?
10319How did it happen, any way?
10319How did they look?
10319How did you come to be outside the Academy grounds last evening, Mr. Totten? 10319 How did you stand in your exams?"
10319How do you feel, sir?
10319How have the fellows been treating you, chum?
10319How on earth did I ever happen to let Darrin through?
10319How was it remarkable?
10319How would it strike him?
10319How?
10319I asked you what you knew about the accident-- if it were an accident?
10319I do n''t suppose you can guess what we came to talk about?
10319I wonder how it is all going to come out?
10319I wonder how the crowd got wind of the thing in such short time?
10319I wonder if Jetson means me any harm?
10319I wonder what sort of crazy or calculating grandstand play Darrin is trying to make just now?
10319I wonder why they could n''t have remained here longer?
10319I''m not ordered to stay there, I hope, sir?
10319I''ve said it, have n''t I?
10319I-- I had a bad fall, did n''t I?
10319I-- I-- can''t the matter be dropped, sir?
10319I? 10319 If it is n''t, what is it, then?"
10319If it''s as bad as that,hinted Dan innocently,"would n''t it be a prime good idea to draw our eleven from the field this year?"
10319If we ca n''t beat the visitors what''s the use of playing them? 10319 In a sailboat?"
10319Is Jetson all right?
10319Is anything unusual going on?
10319Is it as bad as that?
10319Is that honesty or extreme modesty?
10319Jetson, are you mad?
10319Joyce,asked Hepson,"will you kindly remain with Jetson and see that he is assisted to the hospital, if he needs it?
10319Just what does that cover?
10319Let me wipe it off then, please, sir?
10319May I suggest, Mr. Havens,hinted Jetson,"that something else may have scratched Mr. Darrin''s face, and that the blood trickled to my shoe?
10319Meaning Tom and Harry?
10319Meaning that I should desert my convictions and bow to the class?
10319Mr. Ardmore, will you do me the very great favor of ceasing your attempts at acquaintance?
10319Mr. Dalzell, Mr. Joyce, did you also take part in that affair?
10319Mr. Dalzell, do you share Mr. Darrin''s determination as to keeping out of trouble in Annapolis this evening?
10319Mr. Darrin, sir?
10319Mr. Darrin, were you in it?
10319Mr. Darrin, why did you feel called upon to try to defeat the investigation that you foresaw, and which is now under way?
10319Mr. Motley,demanded coach,"did you see just what happened?"
10319My being here wo n''t interfere with anything that you want to do?
10319No girls for you, either?
10319No; did I tell you that I had a letter from Dick Prescott?
10319Not play this season?
10319Not so difficult, was it?
10319Now, are you well enough up in grease to get town leave for the evening?
10319Now, gentlemen, what''s this all about?
10319Now, then,demanded Farley, almost savagely,"what''s the meaning of the very remarkable exhibition that you gave the class?"
10319Now, what was it all about, Darry?
10319Of course we could n''t, but why fuss about the com, and his satellite, the O.C.? 10319 Of course, Joyce, you''re not putting up a joke on us?"
10319Of what kind?
10319Oh, have n''t I?
10319Oh, that''s the midshipman, is it?
10319On your word as a gentleman you did not intend, a foul trip?
10319Or Dick and Greg?
10319Or do you get too much of boats in your working year?
10319Or only the rattles?
10319Otherwise?
10319Request for what?
10319Say what?
10319Say, did I show you that letter of Dick''s?
10319Say, do you know how that would strike the com.?
10319Say, how''s the Navy going to win under a chap as nervous as Hepson?
10319Say, what do they teach you at Annapolis?
10319See anything now?
10319Seen Hepson?
10319Since you refuse to listen even to Hepson--"Who''s taking my name in vain?
10319Sir,he demanded,"will you observe Miss Meade''s request and take yourself away?"
10319Slimy, eh?
10319So Darry converted you, did he?
10319So Tom and Harry were really here?
10319So that you might answer truthfully, if asked, that you did not know the man?
10319So that''s what coach and team captain were hatching up?
10319So you took the time when I am here as the most suitable occasion for a fight?
10319So? 10319 Suppose,"sneered Jetson, in suppressed fury,"I should go to the other extreme, and say that I did it on purpose?"
10319Sure?
10319Surgeon here?
10319That, in itself, was strange, Mr. Darrin, was there any agreement among you three that you would not recognize your comrade?
10319The hop?
10319Then I''ll have the satisfaction, wo n''t I, of knowing that it''s all my own fault?
10319Then he''ll run his craft into the trough of the sea, and--"Well, what?
10319Then how do you reconcile this statement with your other one?
10319Then tell me why I did n''t play on the football eleven?
10319Then whatever Mr. Darrin''s words were, they had the effect, if not the exact form, of a rebuke against your conduct?
10319Then you considered the avenging of the insult to your cousin as being a matter of greater importance than your future career in the Navy?
10319Then you imply that I am not?
10319Then you''ll drop the line of talk you started the other night?
10319Then your midshipmen are to get off, and to be encouraged to repeat such conduct?
10319There is a quarrel, then?
10319Think you can make it, old fellow?
10319This breeze is so fine,suggested Laura,"what do you say if we seat ourselves here and watch the river for a while?"
10319To go sailing only in calm weather?
10319Troy, N.Y.?
10319Two of our old High School boys? 10319 Unless-- sir?"
10319Want to hear a part of it, Dan?
10319Was it in connection with football?
10319We''re going to be beaten, are n''t we?
10319We''re not intruding, I hope?
10319Well, are n''t you?
10319Well, is n''t that right?
10319Well, they''re bound to, are n''t they?
10319Well, what ails you?
10319Well, what would you give?
10319Well, you know Foss and Canty?
10319Well,asked Darrin coolly, but mockingly,"have you had all you can stand, or are you going to back up your wild, crazy statements?"
10319Well?
10319What are you going to do about it, Davy?
10319What are you going to do to- night, Darry?
10319What are you going to tell her?
10319What are you going to try to do about your dress coat, Darry?
10319What are you talking about?
10319What did Mr. Darrin say?
10319What do you make of the enemy, Hepson?
10319What do you mean, sir?
10319What do you want to do? 10319 What form does their tougeness take?"
10319What good would it do?
10319What has become of Ella?
10319What kind of weather is coming?
10319What on earth came over you, Jet?
10319What word?
10319What would n''t I give-- just to see what they look like in these days?
10319What''s all this fuss about?
10319What''s the answer?
10319What''s the need of a challenge, seconds-- or of anything but fists? 10319 What''s the use?"
10319What''s this all about?
10319What''s up?
10319What''s wrong with Ardmore?
10319What''s your name, sir?
10319What? 10319 What?
10319When are you going to play football?
10319Where is he?
10319Which was the most surprised crowd-- the''bad''Western outfit or the police department?
10319Who are they?
10319Who ever made the Naval Academy and the service so hard as that?
10319Who is the young lady?
10319Who is this fellow Ardmore?
10319Who''s doing that fine work?
10319Why are you so struck on a fellow like Jetson?
10319Why do you rank Prescott and Holmes so high, Darry?
10319Why does n''t the idiot make land?
10319Why not?
10319Why not?
10319Why should so much fuss be made over the matter?
10319Why, are midshipmen who do n''t belong to the eleven allowed to see the game?
10319Why, have n''t you had much sailboat practice at Annapolis yet?
10319Why, the fellows need some cheering up, do n''t they?
10319Why? 10319 Why?"
10319Why?
10319Will you come to my room, or shall I go to yours?
10319Will you do me a great favor?
10319Will you take it, Darrin?
10319Will you?
10319Wonder if he''s going to work this afternoon? 10319 Would n''t we want to put in a part of the winter near West Point?"
10319Would you be willing to play on the same team with him, Darry?
10319Yells?
10319Yes, sir?
10319Yet what is one going to do about it? 10319 Yet you think you possess the courage to become one of our fighting officers in the future, if the need arises?
10319You deny it?
10319You have n''t gone to see the annual game at Philadelphia before this, have you?
10319You know what happens the Saturday after Thanksgiving on Franklin Field, do n''t you, Belle?
10319You wo n''t mind this time, will you, Farl?
10319You''ll be at the class meeting this evening, wo n''t you?
10319You''ll take us out on the water before your leave is over, wo n''t you?
10319You''ll turn out for practice to- morrow afternoon?
10319You''ll write me--"Can you doubt that, Belle?
10319You''re going, of course?
10319You''re wrong, there, Farl"Did n''t you?
10319You''ve heard nothing about it?
10319You''ve no appointments or engagements, then?
10319Your High School studies did help, did n''t they?
10319( chaplain) uttered Joyce in disgust"Ca n''t you forget, for one evening, that you''re a midshipman?"
10319After all the good times she and I have enjoyed together?"
10319And none of you has any idea of the identity of the fourth midshipman concerned in this evening''s work?"
10319And none of you recognized the fourth midshipman?"
10319And you were n''t, either, were you?"
10319Are n''t you wise?"
10319Are they of fair size?"
10319Are they to be swashbucklers and bullies?"
10319Are you capable of cooling down?
10319Are you ready?"
10319At any rate, risking one''s life goes with the Naval service, does n''t it?"
10319Being back in the home town, where would Midshipman Darrin be more naturally found than in the parlor at the home of his sweetheart, Miss Belle Meade?
10319But another question is, have I a right to tell her just what took place in a class meeting?"
10319But the townies wo n''t wager any money on us this year, eh?"
10319But you''ve changed your mind about going out this afternoon, have n''t you, Foss?"
10319But, Dalzell, do you really want to fight?"
10319By fanning it?
10319By the way, have you heard whether Dick and Greg expect to play on the Army eleven?"
10319CHAPTER VII"DID JETSON DO IT?"
10319CHAPTER XV THE NAVY GOAT WEEPS"Did you hear that Ella had a bad tumble down three stories?"
10319Ca n''t an upper classman do that?"
10319Ca n''t you get that through your head?"
10319Crane?"
10319Damn''s face like that?"
10319Darrin?"
10319Darrin?"
10319Darry, are you in shape, now, to attend to this matter from your point of view?"
10319Dave Darrin''s Third Year at Annapolis CHAPTER I WHY THE MIDSHIPMEN BALKED"So Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton have been here?"
10319Dave, promise me something?"
10319Do we desire to take upon ourselves the probable smothering of such a Naval career?
10319Do we not owe some duty to our country in this matter?
10319Do you believe that Jetson really meant to trip you this afternoon?"
10319Do you mind telling me why you did it?"
10319Do you wish to retract?--to apologize?"
10319Going to get an early start with the books to- night?"
10319Good times with you?"
10319He''d break his neck, and what could we say with the net gone?"
10319Hepson?"
10319How can any trouble come to you out of the matter?
10319How did they come out?
10319I wonder if the time seems as long to you two?"
10319If you suspect that I did the thing intentionally, then why beat about the bush?"
10319Is it fair to ruin any man because he has the misfortune to have a fit of sulks?
10319Is n''t it a rather late time in the year to be still hounding the poor new men?"
10319It required an effort, did it?"
10319It''s October now, and what earthly chance, Dave, have you and I to get in shape?"
10319Line up at this goal- line, Joyce, will you take a stop- watch and go over to the other goal- line?
10319May I walk along with you?"
10319Mr. Jetson, do you know anything about it?"
10319Mr. President, how would you attempt to extinguish a fire?
10319Not badly jolted, I hope?"
10319Now, I ask you, fairly and flatly, what has brought your mind to this pitch?
10319Or Greg or Dick?
10319Otherwise--""Well?"
10319Say, is n''t she really a beauty?"
10319So I have come to ask you if you will not honor me with your company at the concert?"
10319Strike the Navy''s colors, and especially to the Army?"
10319That is, to what place or for what purpose could we go that would be approved by the O.C.?"
10319The cold coin coursed down Joyce''s spine?
10319Then, if I changed my attitude, would n''t I be acting a false part?"
10319Totten?"
10319What a change two years make in a High School boy, does n''t it?"
10319What class was he in, then?"
10319What do you expect to be able to say for Midshipmen Darrin and Dalzell?
10319What do you say, Danny boy?"
10319What do you two say?"
10319What evil spirit tempted them to be in that scrape?"
10319What have I done, or what have n''t I done?"
10319What have you to say?"
10319What say you?"
10319What would n''t I give to see Tom or Harry?
10319What would your folks then say to us if we had had the miserable luck to survive you?"
10319What''s Dan Dalzell going to do while he''s home on leave?"
10319What''s that?"
10319What''s the use of hanging around at a hop when there''s only one girl to every five fellows?"
10319Where did they play before coming to Annapolis?"
10319Why do you go on making a pest of yourself?"
10319Why in the mischief did n''t I?"
10319Will you be good enough to hurry back and explain to Belle why I am delayed-- perhaps prevented from seeing her again tonight?"
10319Will you return to the hop, and, if he is not dancing, will you bring him out here?"
10319Wo n''t it be great?"
10319Would it be asking too much to ask you to step outside-- unless Mr. Jetson feels that he would prefer that you remain?"
10319Yet I ask you, bluntly, who among you have ever tried to aid Mr. Jetson in overcoming his own peculiar style of temper?
10319You know what that means, do n''t you?"
10319You''ll try to make good?
10319You''ll try to make the team and some history?"
10319You''re not afraid of a little foam on top of the water, are you?"
10319and the com.?"
10319came a banging summons on the door, followed by Midshipman Joyce''s voice demanding:"Are you in, Danny boy?"
10319ever allow that five- year- old imp to travel with men?"
10319sternly,"to hinder the course of justice at the Naval Academy?"
40368A bit fresh, is n''t he, Stone?
40368A fine cruise, was n''t it, Glass?
40368All right,replied the amiable Peters,"come along; but what are we to do there?
40368And did you accompany Mr. Frank Stonewell in an attempt to steal the examination last night, sir?
40368And he could n''t go walking with you to- day because he had some letters to write?
40368And is n''t it lonely?
40368And you know all about him, do you?
40368And you remember why I neglected my duty? 40368 Are there any good men in it?"
40368Blunt, can you come to my office immediately? 40368 But did you really expect me to- day?
40368But have you had bad news? 40368 But how do you account for my son being recognized as the person with you?"
40368But how else can I account for it?
40368But is such a hound to be permitted to remain a midshipman?
40368But was n''t there an idea in your mind that you might hurt somebody?
40368But what''s the matter? 40368 By George, Stone,"said Robert later,"can you imagine there is anybody in the world who does more mad rushing than midshipmen do?
40368By the way, have n''t you been doing some special stunts in seamanship? 40368 By what authority are you visiting my room in study hours?"
40368Captain,he commenced,"you knew my roommate''s father, did n''t you, Mr. Drake?
40368Come along where?
40368Did you ever before see a person who looked as Mr. Blunt does now?
40368Did you find the cakes and things in the pantry, Robert?
40368Did you, Mr. Drake, detect Mr. Harry Blunt in an attempt to steal an examination last night?
40368Do I add lying to my other crimes?
40368Do you believe that, sir?
40368Do you deny that you detected Mr. Stonewell last night trying to steal an examination?
40368Do you deny, sir, that a midshipman accompanied you last night?
40368Do you expect me to sit idle while you are ruining my reputation? 40368 Do you expect to see him again to- night?"
40368Do you know the names of those two midshipmen?
40368Do you know who you are talking about? 40368 Do you know who''s going to have five stripes?"
40368Do you mean last year''s five striper?
40368Do you mean that you would allow an innocent person to be punished?
40368Do you mean that, Blunt?
40368Do you mean the path that leads by two old chestnut trees, trees of enormous size and now almost dead?
40368Do you mean to say you do n''t know who he is?
40368Do you remember the invitation I gave you then to our class graduation german and ball?
40368Do you see that plebe over there, kicking the ball?
40368Do you see the''Robert Centre''?
40368Do you think I''m going to let a plebe beat me?
40368Do you think I''m going to stand this?
40368Do you think you treated the Blunts very politely? 40368 Drake,"replied Harry,"are you advising me as a friend or speaking to me officially as my company commander?"
40368Farnum,said Robert,"you remember our second class summer, do n''t you, when I was reported for deliberate neglect of duty?"
40368Father,started Harry Blunt, appealingly,"I will admit that----""Keep quiet, will you?"
40368Feel? 40368 For the last time, will you tell me where Stonewell is?"
40368Forgive you, Bob? 40368 Grice,"said Captain Dalton, turning to the negro,"did you and Mr. Drake see Mr. Blunt trying to steal an examination last night?"
40368Had anybody intended to take the''Robert Centre''out to- day?
40368Harry? 40368 Have you seen Stonewell?"
40368Have you the effrontery to ask what the matter is?
40368Have you told anybody?
40368Helen, is your gown all ready?
40368Helen, you will let me write to you, wo n''t you? 40368 Hello, Bob, what have you there, a new gun?"
40368Hello, Farnum, how are you, old chap? 40368 Hello, what is it?"
40368How are you going to fit peep- sights to this gun and not have everybody else know about it?
40368How are you, Drake?
40368How can you help it, Bob?
40368How did you feel, Bob, when you shot at the''Robert Centre''s''mast?
40368How do you do, Stonewell?
40368How do you know?
40368How in the world did you get into the basement?
40368I could n''t help being late; I had much to do this morning,remarked the gentleman;"did you receive my telegram, admiral?"
40368I do indeed; pretty hard luck, was n''t it? 40368 I remember that very well indeed,"rejoined Farnum;"what of it?"
40368I suppose that you do this to save Mr. Blunt; was this your reason?
40368I suppose you''ve come back early for football practice?
40368I''m glad to see you and Drake; have you seen any others of the football squad?
40368Is n''t this beautiful?
40368Is that the only reason he does n''t get five stripes, sir?
40368Is this the superintendent?
40368Is your delay in obeying my order due to ignorance or insubordination?
40368It is; what do you know about the affair, sir?
40368It''s wonderful,cried Robert;"are these bore sights in the exact centre of the gun?"
40368Lenn, can we prevent people from seeing these sights?
40368Look at this man; have you ever seen him before?
40368Look here, Bob, what''s bothering you?
40368Look here, Bob, when you went out to the pantry did you see young Blunt? 40368 Look here, boy, how many papers have you to sell?"
40368Make a careful muster; we''ll investigate; what do you think it was?
40368May I see Mr. Farnum for a few minutes?
40368Mean it? 40368 Mistah Drake, suh, will yo''gibe me yor promise as a naval officer an''gemman that yo''won''tell anybody what I''se gwine to say?"
40368Mr. Blunt, will you please leave my room? 40368 Mr. Drake, are you aware of what you are doing?
40368Mr. Drake, was this the man you saw last night?
40368Mr. Drake,he said after a moment,"have you ever seen my son in this disguise?
40368Mr. Stonewell,burst out the commandant,"have you descended to the bottom of the pit of hypocrisy and infamy?
40368Not altogether bad, is he, captain?
40368Now, what''s that fellow up to?
40368Of course, but he had the opportunity right here; Blunt, do you wish to question your son?
40368Of course; what of it?
40368Oh, Robert, what did that old colored man want?
40368Oh, Stone, how could I have doubted you?
40368Oh, Stonewell,he cried,"I ca n''t believe it; is n''t it likely to be a mistake?"
40368Oh, what a joke,he cried;"oh, my, oh, my!--who would believe it?"
40368Oh, what has happened? 40368 Perhaps he saw me in the cit''s clothes; that would be a bilging spot,[2] would n''t it?"
40368Pshaw, I counted on your going-- what is your engagement; ca n''t you put it off?
40368Say, Bob, have you read about that kidnapping case in Baltimore? 40368 Say, Bob,"remarked Stonewell one day,"have you noticed that fellow Bligh of late?"
40368Say, Glass, are you going to start a wholesale newspaper business?
40368Say, fellows, was n''t that a good one I worked on old''I mean to say''? 40368 Since when have you taken up with him, Stone?"
40368Since when have you taken up with that rascal, Stone?
40368Sir?
40368Sir?
40368Sir?
40368So I come next after Stonewell, do I, Robert?
40368So you''re against me too, are you?
40368Stone, are n''t you a little hard on him?
40368Stone, you and I are the best of friends, are n''t we?
40368That fellow with a thick bunch of hair, that one who has just kicked?
40368That''s awfully good of you, Stone, but can you spare the fifty dollars? 40368 That''s too bad; is n''t Bob down for anything?"
40368These are strange questions, Captain Dalton; will you please tell me in what way I have been infamous and a hypocrite? 40368 They''re just the same as in the list we saw published, are n''t they?"
40368They''ve a good man commanding the first company, have n''t they?
40368Wa- wa- was that all you wanted to see me for?
40368Was n''t that pretty?
40368Well, Grice, what is it that you want with me?
40368Well, Mr. Robert,retorted Helen scornfully,"would you think Harry was only a little careless if you knew he was up- stairs this instant?
40368Well, ca n''t you follow that gasoline launch ahead of us? 40368 Well, then,"rejoined Harry in a short, snappy way,"as a friend will you kindly mind your own business?"
40368Well,he said,"what of it?"
40368Were n''t you in a bit of a rush, Bob?
40368What are you reading, Bob? 40368 What are you talking about?
40368What can Blunt be doing in there?
40368What can I do for you, sir?
40368What can this man be doing here?
40368What do you think of the fourth class, Stone?
40368What do you think, Stone?
40368What do you want, Grice?
40368What do you want?
40368What does this mean?
40368What for? 40368 What have you been doing?"
40368What have you played?
40368What have you to say, sir?
40368What is it, Bob? 40368 What is it, Brice?"
40368What is it, Grice?
40368What is it, Halstead?
40368What is it, Robert; has anything happened?
40368What is it, Stonewell?
40368What is it, sir? 40368 What is it?"
40368What is to be done?
40368What ship? 40368 What was Bligh doing there at that time?"
40368What was the advice you refer to, Bob? 40368 What was the occasion of that remarkable disappearance of yours a year ago?
40368What yacht is that?
40368What''s the matter with you, Bob?
40368What''s the matter with you?
40368What''s the matter, Bob?
40368What''s the matter, Stone?
40368What''s the matter, old chap?
40368What''s the matter? 40368 What''s the matter?"
40368What''s the reason, Robert?
40368What''s the surprise, Helen?
40368What''s up? 40368 What''s up?"
40368When and where?
40368When did you enter the Academy?
40368Where away, can you make her out?
40368Where did you get that uniform?
40368Where have you played?
40368Where is Stone?
40368Where is Stonewell?
40368Where is that cry?
40368Where were you when you woke up?
40368Where''s that cry?
40368Where''s that gasoline boat; can you see her anywhere?
40368Which one, Glass?
40368Who did you imagine had taken the things?
40368Who is he, admiral? 40368 Who is he?"
40368Who made that ridiculous report?
40368Who were the midshipmen, Mr. Drake? 40368 Who were the people that got out of the launch?"
40368Who were they?
40368Why do n''t we catch up?
40368Why do n''t you chaps read the rest of this list, and see who the remaining cadet officers are?
40368Why should Drake be grateful to my father?
40368Why so quiet?
40368Why, Bob, what has he done; why are you so down on him?
40368Why-- why-- how should I know?
40368Will you please send for some midshipman who was at the theatre that night?
40368Will you please tell me frankly why I am recommended to be cadet commander, and Mr. Stonewell is not?
40368Will you please tell me why it would be unfair to that sneak? 40368 Will you please tell me, sir, what you are doing in that uniform?"
40368Wo n''t you help him, Robert?
40368Yes, where is he now?
40368You are a brother to be proud of, are n''t you?
40368You are a regular blunderer, are n''t you, Robert?
40368You know that our company is going to try hard to win the flag, do n''t you?
40368You know why you do n''t get five stripes, do n''t you?
40368You may have the chance, Bob; but why do n''t you read your other letter?
40368You''re a stranger here, are n''t you?
40368Again he glanced about the room, and getting no response inquired,"What is the matter?
40368Ai n''t I right, Mistah Drake?
40368Ai n''t yo''gwine to help me, Mistah Drake?"
40368Am I intruding?"
40368And ca n''t good friends expect favors of one another?
40368And come now, after rooming with him for four years, do you feel you know his intimate thoughts?
40368And did n''t Farnum jump ship at the same time?
40368And did n''t the captain give him the mischief?"
40368And is n''t that chap Bligh a trump?
40368And you will answer my letters?"
40368Are n''t you pleased, Bob?"
40368Are they close at hand?"
40368Are you bore sighted?"
40368Are you mute, when you hear the character of the first midshipman of his time so shamefully assailed?
40368Are you really certain that you know Mr. Stonewell just as he knows you?"
40368Are you sure he did?"
40368As Frank looked up into Harry Blunt''s face, he said coolly enough,"Who are you?"
40368Bligh?"
40368But did you fix matters at Princeton for him?"
40368But how did he come to do it?"
40368But what has the gun shed to do with our company winning the flag?"
40368But what is the matter, Robert?
40368But what was the advice you spoke of?"
40368But why did he do this?
40368But why did n''t you speak of it before, Stone?"
40368But why do you ask me about Stone?
40368But why should you help Blunt?
40368But you would n''t have done it for me alone, would you?"
40368By the way, Bob, whom have you asked to present the flag to your company?
40368By the way, did you know that the first class has late liberty to- night?
40368By the way, do you remember that Sunday long ago, when we took our first walk?
40368CHAPTER XXIII ROBERT RESIGNS"Did n''t I tole yo''so, suh?
40368CHAPTER XXIX THE END OF A LONG DAY"Stone, will you ever forgive me?"
40368CHAPTER XXVII ROBERT FINALLY ANSWERS"What is it, sir?"
40368Ca n''t you see, sir, that I do n''t want the stigma, the disgrace of dishonorable expulsion from here just as I commence civil life?
40368Ca n''t you talk it over with me?
40368Ca n''t you trust me and not ask me to explain myself?
40368Can yo''come outside, suh?
40368Captain Blunt, are you ready to leave?"
40368Captain, do you remember the Sunday morning you invited me to dine with you?"
40368Capting, yo''''member that time at de theatre, heah, when a man stood up in a box an''says,''Three groans for de superintendent an''commandan''''?
40368Come, Mr. Drake, have you seen Harry in that disguise?
40368Dalton, is this not a case for mercy?
40368Did he know of it?"
40368Did you detect a person in that disguise in the act of stealing an examination last night?
40368Did you detect him trying to steal an examination?
40368Did you do that?"
40368Did you last night detect Cadet Commander Stonewell in an attempt to steal an examination?"
40368Did you see anybody in the room?"
40368Do n''t I play quarter well enough for you, Mister Stonewell?"
40368Do n''t you and Harry speak?"
40368Do n''t you find my conversation interesting enough to keep you awake?
40368Do n''t you just long for the woods when the spring- time comes?"
40368Do n''t you know that persistence in this course will cause your summary dismissal?"
40368Do n''t you know the rifle salute?
40368Do n''t you like him, Robert?
40368Do n''t you see, sir, I was working for the Academy?
40368Do you add lying to your other crimes, sir?"
40368Do you hear me?
40368Do you hear that, and are you silent, sir?"
40368Do you know that Mr. Stonewell is cadet commander?
40368Do you not know why Mr. Drake has offered his resignation?"
40368Do you really put faith in this new sight you have invented?"
40368Do you refuse to answer, sir?"
40368Do you remember much about it?"
40368Do you think he will fail?"
40368Do you understand that this negro says that you and he together saw Mr. Stonewell and Mr. Blunt attempt to steal an examination last night?
40368Do you want to know anything more about Frank?"
40368Do you wish to ask him any questions?"
40368Drake?"
40368Drake?"
40368Drake?"
40368Drake?"
40368Farnum''s hand dropped to his side, and he said impulsively,"Why wo n''t you shake hands with me, Drake?
40368Father wants you to come to dinner to- night-- he has a surprise for you-- oh, dear, what am I talking about?
40368Forgive you for sacrificing yourself for me?
40368Ha, ha, ha, I got you both that time, did n''t I?
40368Harry Blunt clutched the table as if for support, and with pallid face and in trembling tones he asked:"What does he want me for?"
40368Harry who?
40368Has n''t something dreadful occurred?"
40368Has that scamp been Frenching again?"
40368Have n''t some old boatswain''s mates been giving your men some extra drill in handling sail?"
40368Have you any recollection at all of that, any dream even?"
40368Have you any steamer you could send for her?"
40368Have you had any drill?
40368Have you your range cards ready, and a stop- watch?"
40368He finally remarked:"Mr. Bligh, do you know that this confession of yours will cause your dismissal from the Naval Academy?"
40368He says----Why, Stone, old chap, what is the matter?"
40368He then opened the paper and cried out in amazement:"You tender your resignation as a midshipman?
40368He then suddenly assumed a bent- over position and leaning over toward Grice said:"Did you ever see me before?"
40368Hello, Blunt,"Robert continued to another young man who just came up,"so you''re out for football, too, are you?"
40368Hello, Jim, what''s that noise?
40368Hello, is this Captain Blunt?"
40368How did those things happen to be found in your room?"
40368How did you do it?"
40368How is he doing?"
40368How is my boy Harry coming along?
40368I could have sworn I saw him ahead of me on Maryland Avenue to- day; you do n''t think Harry is Frenching, do you?"
40368I have n''t seen you for an age, and there''s----""Well, whose fault is that?"
40368I have thought that perhaps Mr. Blunt is charged with having used that disguise last night; is that so, sir?"
40368I once said to him,''Harry, what is your ambition?''
40368I''ve heard lots about the Naval Academy; it''s a fine place, is n''t it?
40368Is he here?
40368Is he like you?"
40368Is n''t that just splendid?
40368Is that what you require?"
40368Is that your news?
40368Is there danger of that if we keep in the middle of the stream?"
40368Is there no way I can help you; will it do you no good to talk things over with me?"
40368It became instantly known that Bligh was off the football squad, and"Why?"
40368Look here, Bligh, would you shake hands?"
40368Look here, my little man, is your name Georgie Thompson?"
40368Look here, that Bligh is going to bilge, is n''t he?"
40368May I have a piece of bread and butter?
40368May I use these sights, sir, on my target practice to- day?"
40368Now ca n''t you and Mr. Stonewell start to go soon and ask father to walk to the Academy grounds with you?
40368Now ca n''t you tell me something about him, Stone?
40368Now what am I to do?
40368Now what do you say, Stonewell?"
40368Now what do you say?"
40368Now what is it?
40368Now what''s he been doing?
40368Now will you come?"
40368Now, Mr. Blunt, did you never fear detection?
40368Now, Mr. Robert, tell me something else; why was n''t Harry Blunt with us this afternoon?
40368Now, do you think you know as much about Mr. Stonewell as he does about you?"
40368Now, what have you to say about this matter?"
40368Or did you fail to recognize them?"
40368Or is there some misunderstanding which prevents our talking to each other?"
40368Pass him; but where does my young friend come in?"
40368Robert Drake realized all this; what midshipman does not who has been at the Naval Academy for three years?
40368Robert jumped to his feet, and with flashing eyes and in angry tones asked:"What do you want, sir?"
40368Robert looked helplessly at her, and then said:"Helen, you and I have been good friends, have n''t we?
40368Robert paused a moment and then added:"Stone, did you tell him of the trouble I was in?"
40368Robert thought a moment, and then said:"Why, sir, I''m going to graduate in less than three weeks; wo n''t you come to my graduation, sir?
40368Robert?"
40368Say, Captain Blunt is a fine fellow, is n''t he?
40368Say, coxswain, how far up this river can we steam?"
40368Say, old chap, you were pretty sick the night I brought you over here, were n''t you?
40368She won this year''s six- pounder record by that sight-- I only yesterday received a drawing of it-- how in the world did you get this up?"
40368So as he passed Harry he suddenly stopped and said:"So the Great Stonewell''s pet chicken has bootlicked himself into quarter, has he?"
40368Stonewell was busy writing and after a few moments he looked up, and suddenly cried out:"Why, Bob, what''s the matter; no bad news from home, I hope?"
40368Stonewell?"
40368Stonewell?"
40368Stonewell?"
40368Stonewell?"
40368That means the line of the gun sights is parallel to the axis of the gun, does n''t it?"
40368That other man was Mistah Harry Blunt, suh; did n''t yo''hear Mistah Stonewell call him Harry, suh?
40368That''s what our instructor in gunnery said last October, do n''t you remember?"
40368Then to Commander Brice on the bridge:"Are you making ten knots, captain?"
40368There is no hurry about this; Dalton, have you any objection to my having a private talk now with my son?"
40368Was he the one guilty of that shameful insult to the superintendent and commandant?
40368Well, Bob, are you all ready for your target practice?
40368Were you guilty of that, too, sir?"
40368What about him?"
40368What am I to do, Stone?"
40368What are all those midshipmen running into the station for?"
40368What are those other crimes, and in what respect have I lied?"
40368What are yours?"
40368What chance would I have?
40368What do you hear of West Point?
40368What does this mean, sir?
40368What has he to do with this matter?"
40368What have you been doing lately?
40368What have you to say to that, sir?"
40368What in the world are you yawning for, Robert Drake?
40368What is it?"
40368What is it?"
40368What is the matter; are we not good friends?
40368What is to be hoped for our navy when the midshipman we are most proud of turns out to be a hypocrite and a cheat?"
40368What shall I do, sir?"
40368What shall I do?
40368What was the operation you performed?"
40368What were those awful noises, Mister?
40368What''s his name?"
40368What''s the trouble?"
40368What''s your name?"
40368When these two midshipmen came in, Captain Blunt said:"Take a look at this man; have you ever seen him before?"
40368When you left your post that night was it to avoid reporting me?
40368Where are you taking those things, Sexton?"
40368Where is my papa?
40368Where is my papa?"
40368Where is the wireless operator?
40368Whom had we better put in the gun''s crew with us?"
40368Why are you silent?
40368Why did he pretend to go to Washington?
40368Why do n''t you wish me to?"
40368Why do you enter my office without permission?"
40368Why have you those togs on?"
40368Why should he engage in such an affair with Harry Blunt?"
40368Why, Robert, what''s the matter?
40368Will you come along, Farnum?"
40368Will you please come over to the starboard six- pounder gun?"
40368Wo n''t this do?
40368Wo n''t you come next Saturday and have supper with us?
40368Won''yo''help a pore ole niggah what''s in trouble?"
40368Won''yo''help me, Mistah Drake?
40368Would you have deliberately neglected your duty for me, or was it to benefit your own particular chums, Stone, Pete and Glass?"
40368Yes, suh, an''----""Did you see the faces of these midshipmen, Grice?"
40368Yo''knows I''se messenger for department of mathmax, doan''yo'', Mistah Drake?"
40368You chaps are going to Annapolis, are n''t you?
40368You did n''t think to look overhead, did you?"
40368You do too; you do n''t want to see him bilge, do you?"
40368You have suddenly stopped coming to see me; surely there was a reason, Robert; what was it?"
40368You see Drake can not report your father''s son; and come now, would n''t a man be a cad to force a man like Drake to go back on his principles?"
40368You, a shameful, dishonorable man to wear a naval uniform, to represent your country?
40368Your father tells me he has n''t seen much of you of late; you are not on the first conduct grade, are you?
40368asked Robert of Farnum;"do you know where he went?
40368called out Robert;"and why do n''t your two friends show themselves?
40368called the officer- in- charge, Lieutenant- Commander Brooks;"look overhead in each corridor-- what''s that going on on the stairway?"
40368cried Helen seeing him,"or did you get tired waiting for me?
40368inquired Stonewell anxiously;"something has happened; what is it?"
40368what ship?"
40368what''s happened?"
12775A bad habit for a superior officer, is n''t it?
12775A lieutenant? 12775 After taps was sounded?"
12775After this dance, then? 12775 All alone, Darry?"
12775All here?
12775All in?
12775Almost every time?
12775Alone?
12775Alone?
12775Am I intruding in any way?
12775Am I really going away for good?
12775An offense? 12775 And Miss Preston----""My niece?"
12775And now you''ve gone and met your fate?
12775And that enables you to be most delightfully attentive to every girl that comes along?
12775And that was what you''re looking so mighty solemn about? 12775 And they all denied it?"
12775And you are strolling, instead?
12775And you have n''t Holmes, either?
12775And you''ve risked your commission to meet a girl for the second time?
12775And--- er--- distinguished looking, do n''t you think?
12775Any danger of that?
12775Any good? 12775 Any questions, gentlemen?"
12775Are n''t you Fields?
12775Are n''t you going in?
12775Are the bonfires back in Annapolis all ready to be lighted to- night?
12775Are the young men midshipman or officers?
12775Are you a woman hater?
12775Are you all right, Davy?
12775Are you attracted to Mr. Dalzell, Cathy?
12775Are you familiar with the Bay?
12775Are you going to lecture me?
12775Are you going to let the little middies run over us?
12775Are you ill at ease over any of your studies?
12775Are you really exceptionally interested?
12775Are you sure Darry is in form?
12775Are you sure of your statistics?
12775Are you the officer of the day?
12775Are your intentions serious in this, Danny?
12775As a man?
12775As a midshipman?
12775Belle,asked Dan in his most direct way,"will you come and be introduced to Miss Atterly?"
12775Besides, what would the admiral say?
12775But Danny, do you mean to say that you attempted to pay your call without an appointment?
12775But do you think he''s any real good, Darry, as captain for the Navy?
12775But he did n''t say that the score was to be won in a ball game, did he?
12775But how can I say that you said it if you did n''t say it?
12775But if he asks me?
12775But now you notice something?
12775But that kid officer?
12775But what did Farley and I both need?
12775But what do you say?
12775But what has that to do with giving Benson a commission in the Navy?
12775But what on earth are we going to do with a fellow like Darrin? 12775 But what''s the matter?"
12775But why wo n''t Prescott and Holmes play this year?
12775But why?
12775But with--- By the way, who is that girl, anyway?
12775But would n''t this matter wait until November, when you''re pretty sure to have the privilege of town leave again?
12775But, Mr. Darrin, you are not going to fail us just because the Army loses a worthy player or two?
12775Calling us cattle, are you?
12775Can you fellows still use your eyes?
12775D- Dave, I wonder if I could n''t have a real sickness? 12775 Dan did n''t say a word to me about going anywhere, but-----""You think, leave being impossible, Danny has Frenched it over the wall?"
12775Dan, do you want a fine suggestion about the employment of the rest of your liberty time while we''re at Annapolis?
12775Darrin denied having been out after taps?
12775Darry has n''t the sulks over anything, has be?
12775Darry, do you mind going below and inquiring?
12775Darry, what is your candid opinion of Wolgast?
12775Darry,spoke Wolgast in a voice full of feeling,"you''re not woozy to- day, are you?"
12775Dave, did n''t you see the flat gold band that she wears on the third finger of her left hand?
12775Dave, how old do you think Miss Henshaw is?
12775Did Clairy wet you, Farley?
12775Did Mr. Dalzell also deny having been out of quarters after taps?
12775Did any of you note that Mr. Clairy was not at supper?
12775Did n''t I tell you, Danny, that you had n''t head enough to give any of your attention to the other sex?
12775Did you brace Farl up, Davy?
12775Did you hear any clanging or jangling of a signal bell or gong when the speeds were changed?
12775Did you notice Miss Henshaw''s jewelry?
12775Did you see signs of any sort to lead you to believe that any of the midshipmen might have answered in other than the strict truth?
12775Do I?
12775Do any of you know,Darrin continued,"why Mr. Clairy is not here this evening?"
12775Do n''t know? 12775 Do n''t you know, Dave, that a man must be at least twenty- one years old in order to hold an officer''s commission in the Navy?"
12775Do n''t you think twice is enough for a simpleton like me?
12775Do n''t you want to see the redoubtable Prescott shoved into the middle of next year?
12775Do you feel that you''ll ever see enough of me?
12775Do you feel that you''re going to have an easy walk- over with us to- day?
12775Do you know of an impression that I find to prevail among the middies to- day?
12775Do you mean that Miss Preston is going to marry some one else than yourself?
12775Do you mean that you do n''t stand any real show in front of the pair of bright eyes that have made you strike your colors?
12775Do you really believe that dear old Dick will get out of that Coventry and back on the Army eleven?
12775Do you really think that will happen?
12775Do you say that to every girl?
12775Do you see any signs of mirth in my face?
12775Do you think a short cold bath makes me too weak to attend to myself?
12775Do you wish any more speed?
12775Do you worship the little blue- covered volume of regulations, Dave?
12775Does Prescott play to- day?
12775Eating well?
12775Eh?
12775Eh?
12775Even if you do n''t care much for him?
12775Everyone all right?
12775Farley?
12775For getting away, sir?
12775Gentlemen, do you notice that the under side of this plate has been filed considerably?
12775Great day, sir? 12775 Has n''t Pauline come up?"
12775Have n''t you called on or escorted any married women since you''ve been at Annapolis?
12775Have n''t you fellows gotten hold of the cards yet?
12775Have you a surgeon aboard?
12775Have you found the answer, Darry?
12775Have you seen her here before?
12775He went after you, then?
12775Him?
12775How are you going to come through?
12775How do you do, Miss Meade? 12775 How do you know?"
12775How does it seem, at last, to know that you''re really an officer in the Navy?
12775How is it different, I''d like to know?
12775How often have you called?
12775How, I--- wonder?
12775I beg your pardon, sir,said Darrin, saluting,"but did you close this door in order to leave more air to us?"
12775I wonder if Jack has gone clean daffy?
12775I wonder if it will be a strangling and choking,spoke Darrin again in a strange voice;"or whether it will be more like an asphyxiation?
12775I wonder if we have done Prescott any wrong?
12775I wonder what Benson is doing here?
12775I wonder where poor Dan''s adventures in search of a wife are going to end up?
12775I wonder who''s loony now?
12775I would have one advantage over you, then, would n''t I?
12775I--- I wonder where Miss Atterly is?
12775If my shoes had been unlaced, they would still be unlaced, would n''t they, sir?
12775If that happened,laughed the girl,"I could take a trip to Europe could n''t I?
12775If they are midshipmen''s friends are they too ordinary to know?
12775If you wo n''t let me stay in the water, wo n''t some of the rest of you do something?
12775In the lady''s character?
12775Is Dan such a flirt as that?
12775Is Gray trying to stay under? 12775 Is he your father or your brother?"
12775Is n''t Darry going to attend?
12775Is n''t he?
12775Is n''t it rather risky for midshipmen to have control of the boat, then, with no older man along?
12775Is n''t it true?
12775Is n''t that fine? 12775 Is n''t there an Admiral Henshaw in the Navy?"
12775Is that more serious than girls?
12775Is that really your idea of the matter?
12775Is the story going the rounds?
12775It seems queer to be turning out without arms, does n''t it?
12775It will suit you, mother?
12775Laura Bentley and her mother did n''t come over?
12775Let''s go in here-----"What, for?
12775Married?
12775May I ask,he inquired,"whether any of you young gentlemen noticed anything unusual in our motion during the last two or three minutes?"
12775May I come up, sir?
12775May I remark, sir, that that was last year?
12775May I sit down?
12775Miss Atterly, all the hops that I''ve attended could be counted on your fingers, without using the thumbs?
12775Miss Preston?
12775Mr. Darrin, are you awake?
12775Mr. Darrin, what ails you?
12775Mr. Darrin,demanded Lieutenant Adams,"have you been absent from this room tonight?"
12775Nearly all Naval officers marry, do n''t they?
12775No; she is not in the least ill, Mr. Dalzell, though, on Monday, she may feel a bit nervous toward noon,"Nervous--- on Monday?
12775None of you look forward to having to go to hospital during the progress of the game, do you?
12775Not even--- for Laura''s sake?
12775Not in the least,smiled Dave,"but is it good Naval etiquette for one midshipman to use another midshipman as a messenger?"
12775Nothing worse than that?
12775Now, did you fellows really see--- it--- or did I have a delusion that I saw you all salute when I did?
12775Now, why on earth should we bold off that long?
12775Now, why?
12775Of what, then?
12775Oh, a disappointment?
12775Oh, is that all?
12775Oh, really?
12775Only once? 12775 Over Danny?"
12775Really a woman hater?
12775Resign?
12775Say, how did that happen, Farl?
12775Say, who''s dead?
12775Shall I swear?
12775Shall I try out the rest of the squad, sir?
12775Shall we go below, sir?
12775Shall we go over to the field and watch the ball game when it starts?
12775She is not ill, sir?
12775Since when did winning kill joy?
12775So Dan has been running it blind again? 12775 So I''ve got to say''sir,''if that boy speaks to me?"
12775So I''ve got to stick myself on pap, and accept a liberal handful of demerits, all on account of a girl?
12775So that those kids will rank us in the service?
12775So that''s the way she uses me, is it?
12775So this is the meaning of your desperation? 12775 So you questioned all of the midshipmen who might, by any chance, have entered by a window?"
12775So you''ve boycotted Prescott and Holmes?
12775So, since we''ve dropped the subject of girls,Dave continued placidly,"what do you think are our real chances for the balance of this season?"
12775Something blow out of the motor?
12775Soon?
12775Struck to whom?
12775Sub--- sub----say, did you fellows hear that?
12775Talking about me?
12775The old man?
12775The tall, stately blonde?
12775The young lady you''ve been dancing with so much?
12775Then Benson and his mates are real people?
12775Then are we moored for good at the bottom of the bay?
12775Then did you hear what we were saying this afternoon in Wiegard''s?
12775Then do you imagine that the West Point men are any more lax in their views of corps honor?
12775Then he is only a boy?
12775Then he''s not there with a girl?
12775Then how can he be a lieutenant?
12775Then it''s impossible, sir, to leave the boat?
12775Then what are we going to do, sir?
12775Then what''s the trouble? 12775 Then you are n''t engaged?"
12775Then you have two enlisted men aboard who thoroughly understand your engines?
12775Then you knew she was a married woman, Dave?
12775Then you look for a big slaughter list for us this year, Darry?
12775Then you prefer books to the society of girls?
12775Then you wo n''t be there?
12775Then you''ll come, wo n''t you?
12775Then, if you''re not fitted to be a Naval officer,blurted Dalzell,"what on earth can be said of me?"
12775Then, on a cruise,pursued Dave,"how can you divide watches and thus keep going night and day?"
12775Then--- pardon me--- but why are n''t you there?
12775Then-----"Farl, broke in Dave hurriedly, almost fiercely,"has anyone a doughface?"
12775Unreliable at table?
12775Want to die more quickly?
12775Was n''t it shameful of the cadets to treat a man like Dick in that fashion?
12775Well, Belle, what do you think of the lady, now that you''ve seen her?
12775Well, are cubs ever anything more?
12775Well, how do you feel, Darry?
12775Well, sir?
12775Well, then? 12775 Well, they''ll have''em this year, too, wo n''t they?
12775Well, what of that?
12775Well, why should n''t he move about?
12775Well?
12775Were submarines ever handled anywhere near as neatly before you three gentlemen began your work with the Pollard Company?
12775What about?
12775What ails you fellows?
12775What are we going to do now?
12775What are you doing?
12775What are you talking about?
12775What did I tell you?
12775What did he shut the door for?
12775What did we need?
12775What do you imagine it all means, Darry?
12775What do you mean by that?
12775What do you think of the way the trick was done?
12775What does he say you were doing that you were n''t doing?
12775What does it look like?
12775What have you and Page been talking about tonight?
12775What if he had started his rounds ten minutes earlier?
12775What if he is?
12775What is that, sir?
12775What is that?
12775What is that?
12775What makes you think you know so much about that?
12775What on earth is Clairy up to?
12775What on earth is the joke--- and why?
12775What on earth is the matter?
12775What on earth is wrong, Page?
12775What on earth made you bring him to me?
12775What sent your wits wool gathering? 12775 What was the need of an appointment?"
12775What will that be?
12775What would you really do if you were in command of the deck--- as I am--- and you wanted to ask a question, with the answer down below?
12775What''s her name?
12775What''s that party in the sailboat yonder?
12775What''s that?
12775What''s that?
12775What''s the need of rush?
12775What''s the trouble, Farl--- dyspepsia?
12775What''s the use of giving up,Eph demanded,"as long as there''s any life left in us?"
12775What''s up?
12775What''s your line- up?
12775What?
12775What?
12775What?
12775What?
12775What?
12775What?
12775Where are the fellows?
12775Where are you going?
12775Where is he?
12775Where you going?
12775Where''s Dalzell?
12775Where''s Dan to- day?
12775Where''s Darry?
12775Who did?
12775Who has it?
12775Who is his companion to- day, then?
12775Who is the ranking officer visible below at present?
12775Why are you so sure?
12775Why did she let me call?
12775Why do n''t you look out where you''re going?
12775Why do n''t you look out yourself?
12775Why do you prefer to sit in this out- of- the- way place, Catharine?
12775Why do you say that? 12775 Why do you think that?"
12775Why do you want to know?
12775Why on earth is it that all girls are so tricky?
12775Why on earth--- why?
12775Why should you especially think it was her brother whom she was mentioning?
12775Why this unseemly rush, Danny?
12775Why, she spoke to you much of''Oscar''-----"Her brother?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Why?
12775Will Mr. Darrin, state, if able, how serious Clairy''s insanity is believed to be?
12775Will that be enough?
12775Will you come to the meeting, Darry?
12775Will you promise me not to take the risk again, Danny boy?
12775Wo n''t I, though?
12775Wo n''t the motor operate without that plate being sound?
12775Wo n''t you join us here?
12775Would it seem disagreeable in me if I asked you to sit out this number with me?
12775Yes-----?
12775Yes-----?
12775Yes; did n''t you know Miss Preston was engaged to be married?
12775Yes; is it any crime for me to get acquainted with a girl, and to call on her at her home?
12775Yet why Mr. Dalzell, if you really do n''t care anything about him?
12775You are fully aware of what you have answered?
12775You are willing your answer should go on record, then?
12775You do n''t have the ship''s bell struck on this craft, sir?
12775You do n''t know much about women''s ages, then, do you?
12775You do n''t suppose Belle will say anything about this back in Gridley, do you? 12775 You have observed, of course, that Mr. Clairy was not here at the meeting?"
12775You remember Barnes''s General History, that we used to have in Grammar school?
12775You remember how the Army walloped us last year?
12775You say that you saw some one entering a room from the upper end of the terrace?
12775You still assert that Mr. Clairy''s charge that your shoes were unlaced when you approached him was false?
12775You''ll excuse us now, wo n''t you?
12775You''re going to the graduation ball tonight, of course?
12775You''re mightily interested in Belle Meade, are n''t you?
12775You, Dan?
12775You--- you give such advice as that?
12775You? 12775 A girl?
12775Am I going crazy, too?"
12775And Dan?"
12775And see here, is this the way to the Preston house?"
12775And so Miss Preston, while receiving your calls, has been engaged to some one else?"
12775And why''of course''?"
12775Are you ready to give me any explanation of tonight''s foolishness?
12775Are you sleeping well?"
12775But come to my room just as soon as release sounds--- will you?"
12775But how about her?
12775But how do you read so much at a glance, Belle?"
12775But let me see--- wasn''t your liberty for the purpose of paying a visit?"
12775But what, in that case, is she doing strolling around with a midshipman?
12775CHAPTER II SOME ONE PUSHES THE TUNGSTEN You do n''t have to know every blessed thing that I do, do you?"
12775CHAPTER IV DAVE''S WORK GOES STALE"Aye, you''re not--- not joking?"
12775Could n''t I have--- a--- a fit?"
12775Could n''t it be something so you''ll have to jump up and help me to hospital?
12775Darrin?"
12775Darrin?"
12775Darrin?"
12775Darrin?"
12775Darrin?"
12775Darrin?"
12775Darrin?"
12775Dave, I wonder if it would be too terribly prying if we were to turn into Wiegard''s too?"
12775Did n''t she ever mention the lucky fellow to you?"
12775Did you hear what he did in nav.?"
12775Did you return, let us say, by the route of the open window from the terrace?"
12775Did you want to see him about anything in particular?"
12775Do you feel that you''d like some ice cream?"
12775Do you think she could stand the shock?"
12775Farley?"
12775From a girl''s point of view what do you think of that failing, Belle?"
12775Hastings?"
12775Hastings?"
12775Have n''t you been there?"
12775Have you any idea, Mr. Darrin, what is causing you to make a poorer showing?"
12775He laughed mirthlessly, then continued:"When a girl will treat a fellow like that, is n''t it just as well to find out her disposition early?"
12775He now threw one leg over the corner of the study table, though he inquired:"Am I interrupting anything private?"
12775He wo n''t really attempt to drown himself, will he, if he does n''t find his young woman friend?"
12775He''s going to keep on trying with women until-----""Until he lands one?"
12775How does it feel, Danny boy, going away for good?"
12775How does this craft mind her wheel?"
12775How long is the anchor?"
12775How, then, had this electric light bulb been shattered and made to give forth the sound of the explosion?
12775I wonder how it happens?
12775I wonder if the other fellows feel just as I do?"
12775I''ll teach you to-----""Teach me how to walk the way you were going when I stopped you?"
12775If I authorize you to say it, then you wo n''t be fibbing, will you?"
12775Miss Henshaw, may I present my friends?
12775Mr. Hastings, are you all ready at your post?"
12775None the less the Naval officer, as a part of his duty, put the question:"Mr. Dalzell, have you, since taps, been out of this room?
12775Of course, you fellows all know about the Pollard submarine boats?
12775Prescott of the Army team?"
12775Preston?"
12775Shall we continue our stroll?"
12775Somers?"
12775Somers?"
12775Somers?"
12775Surely Dalzell would be coming back by this time, unless-----""Did n''t he have leave to visit town?"
12775That--- that--- kid?"
12775Then, after more fiery words aimed at Clairy, Mr. Gosman demanded:"Why is not Mr. Clairy here to speak for himself?
12775Then, at last, he inquired:"What''s your name?"
12775There''s a pebble in every pickle dish, is n''t there?"
12775Trying to drown himself as a sign of his repentance?"
12775Was it going to prove impossible to stop these mad Navy rushes?
12775What are these Saturday evenings for, anyway, when there''s no way of spending them agreeably?"
12775What do you note of the crew just now?"
12775What is it--- another midshipman?"
12775What on earth is up?
12775What was to be the fate of the day?
12775What''s the answer?"
12775Where''s he?"
12775Where, after all, was the cat''s vision of which he had thought himself possessed?
12775Who can tell?"
12775Who has dared throw spitballs at you?"
12775Who slowed the boat down?"
12775Who was the most popular man in the brigade of midshipmen?
12775Why ca n''t you do that now?"
12775Why do n''t I suit all hands?"
12775Why this mad prank tonight--- and what was it?"
12775Will that solve the problem?"
12775Will you do me a supreme favor--- kick me?"
12775Will you step out a moment?"
12775Would you gentlemen like to be the first squad to go on the longer cruise--- next Saturday?"
12775You heard about that?
12775You''ll do that, wo n''t you?"
12775You''re feeling in really bully form today?"
12775rapped the class president Then, after glancing around:"Is Mr. Clairy present?"
