Dave Darrin’s First Year at Annapolis

CHAPTER VI
3/7

When you go out I'm going with you--whether it's out into the corridor, or out of the Naval Academy for good.

Sit down, now! Try to talk it over coolly, and get yourself into a frame of mind where you can talk with others without prejudicing your case." "My case ?" repeated Dave bitterly, as he allowed Dan to force him back into his chair.

"I haven't any case.

I haven't done anything." "I know that, but you've got to get cool, and stay so, if you want to make sure that others have a chance to know it," warned Dan.
"Does Farley say that I sneaked in information against him ?" "Farley and the others are so sore over their demerits that they believe almost anything, now, and they say almost anything.

Of course, Farley remembers the row he had with you last night.
In a fool way he puts two and two together, an decides that you helped set the trap for them." "If I had done a dirty thing like that, then I'd deserve to be cut by the whole brigade," retorted Dave, his face flushing.
"But I want to tell you, right now, Dave, that some of the fellows of our class know you too well to believe any such thing against you." "I'm properly grateful to the few, then," retorted Darrin, his eyes softening a trifle.
