POMP'S LIGHT INFANTRY TACTICS.
Little Pomp continued to pursue his studies under Frank as a teacher.

By degrees his restlessness diminished, and, finding Frank firm in exacting a certain amount of study before he would dismiss him, he concluded that it was best to study in earnest, and so obtain the courted freedom as speedily as possible.

Frank had provided for his use a small chair, which he had himself used when at Pomp's age, but for this the little contraband showed no great liking.

He preferred to throw himself on a rug before the open fire-place, and, curling up, not unlike a cat, began to pore over his primer.
Frank often looked up from his own studies and looked down with an amused glance at little Pomp's coal-back face and glistening eyes riveted upon the book before him.
