And I'm to be treated with respect, also, Neil; in fact, I believe you had better remove your cap when you see me." "All right, old man; cap--sweater--anything! You shall be treated with the utmost deference.

But seriously, Syd, I'm awfully glad.

Glad all around; glad you've made a hit with the play, and glad you've found something to beat Robinson with.

Now tell me again about it; where do I come in on it ?" And so Sydney drew a chair up to the table and drew more diagrams of the new play, and Neil looked on with great interest until the bell struck the half-hour, and they hurried away to recitations.
The next day the varsity and substitutes went to New Haven.

Neil wasn't taken along, and so when the result of the game reached the college--Yale 40, Erskine 0--he was enabled to tell Sydney that it was insanity for Mills and Devoe to expect to do anything without his (Neil's) services.

Of course, I realize that I could not have played, but my presence on the side-line would have inspired them and have been very, very helpful.
