You can ask him along to lunch tomorrow.” “But he’s a monitor,” Jimmy pointed out, with awe in his voice. “What of it?” asked Dr. Raleigh. “He's an old friend of ours. I'd like to see him again. Besides, his father would be so astonished if I didn't. I'll ask_him, if you'd rather not.” the The idea rather spoiled Jimmy's in his father's presence. W8 a result of last Summer’s riots.

Before Jimmy could point out how awkward it would be, they met Stan- ately blurted out his invitation. Now that Stanhope wore a monitor's cap he could go down to the town whenever he liked, so that an invitation of this sort had no special attraction for him. Nevertheless, he agreed very readily to come, and the meal itself was quite look neat and tidy, since he remembered the ‘censoriousness of boys during his own schooldays. He gave Jimmy lemon squash to drink, but asked Dennis whether he would have beer or cider, | and offered him a cigarette when the meal was over, in the most natural manner possible, “Well, how’s Jimmy getting on?” he asked, as they sat over their coffee in the old-fashioned lounge of the hotel. “He'll get his cricket cap if he tries to,” Dennis declared with flattering as- surance; “and he's a pretty useful aren’t you, Jimmy?" It was the first time Dennis had used Raleigh’s Christian name since his ar- rival at Barford, and the boy was tremendously flattered. “Not often,” he assured Stanhope, “and I shan't be any more. I'll buck up.” “That's good. You can bowl folly well when you try.

You heard your pater ask me down there for part of the hols. I think I might manage it.” Raleigh forgot all his shyness and awe, and poured out all the local gossip he had stored up in his mind, | item by item, during his months at | Barford. “Remember that green woodpecker “You jolly mearly got it with your catapult,” Raleigh declared, with a shade of untruthfulness.
