Parkhurst Boys

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
6/36

Highest mountain in England, guide-book says.

Two fellows in the inn are going, too; but I don't intend to hang on to them, as they seem to think no end of themselves.

They're Cambridge fellows, and talk as if they could do anything.

I'd like to take the shine out of them.
Tuesday, 8 a.m .-- Just fancy, the swindlers here charged me 2 shillings for that tea, 2 shillings 6 pence for my bed, and 1 shilling for attendance--5 shillings 6 pence! I call it robbery, and told them so, and said they needn't suppose they could take _me_ in.

They said it was the usual charge, and they didn't make any difference for small boys, as they found they ate quite as much as grown-up people.
