Jolly fellow, and knows French, too." "Ah, but he is such a cad," said Bowler imploringly.
"Couldn't you think of somebody else, Braintree ?" asked Gayford.
"Oh, have Cwashford.

He's a wewy decent fellah.

I like Cwashford, you know." "Well, there's this to be said," remarked Bowler, finding there was no getting out of it, "it may be rather a good thing to have some one to keep in order; it will give us something to do." "Yes, I expect you'll want it," said Wallas.

"My opinion is it will be jolly slow out there." "Not a bit of it.

We shall have to go out every day and shoot our game--" "With my wifle," put in Braintree.
"And then there'll be a log hut to build and the whole place to explore, and lots of bathing and boating." "And no lessons to do at night." "And we can get up concerts and penny readings, you know, for the winter evenings." "And needn't get up till half-past nine in the morning." And so they went on, till gradually the prospect became so delightful that even Wallas warmed up to it and expressed a wish that they could start at once.
It was, however, decided that they could not manage it this term, as they would have to spend Christmas at home and provide themselves with necessaries for their journey.
