Gerald’s mother had died so soon after his birth that he couldn’t recall her at all. Since then he had been in charge of nurses and tutors, had been given well-nigh everything he wanted and had been as carefully guarded as the heir-apparent of a throne. Mr. Pennimore had tried hard not to spoil him, but Gerald was an only child and it would have been strange indeed if Mr. Hermes Mini Constance Marquetee Buckle Belt Purple Pennimore had been quite successful in his effort. Dan and Gerald had known each other only three months but were already quite close friends. Gerald’s liking for the older boy was closely akin to hero worship; and the day on which he had learned that he was to go to Yardley Hall School and room with Dan was one of the happiest of his life. On the other hand, Dan liked Gerald less for what he was than for what he believed he was capable of being. The boy had never had a fair chance, he thought, and it was no wonder that he was a trifle selfish and self-centered. And as for his flat chest and weak muscles, why, what could you expect of a boy who had never had any real playmates and whose most violent exercise consisted of driving in carriage or automobile or pasting stamps in a stamp book! Dan believed that a couple of years at Yardley would work a change.

The resemblance between father and son was not yet very striking. What there was depended more on tricks of voice, and little mannerisms than on looks, although when Gerald laughed the resemblance was slightly apparent. Gerald promised to grow into a larger man than his father, although just at present he appeared far from robust. He was fourteen years old, but scarcely looked it. He was slightly built,Hermes Marquetee Buckle Belt Orange and his very blue eyes, pink and white skin, and corn-colored hair gave him a somewhat girlish appearance which of late had been troubling him a good deal. For Gerald admired strength and virility, and his greatest ambition was to make a name for himself on the athletic field, an ambition that, judging from present indications, seemed scarcely likely to be attained.

Mr. John T. Pennimore was about fifty-two or -three years of age, rather under than above average height, a very well-bred looking gentleman with a kind if somewhat thoughtful face. His eyes were very black, very bright and keen. Hermes Marquetee Buckle Belt White His hair was just a little grizzled at the temples, and he wore a dark beard, trimmed short, and a mustache. His manners were charming and his voice pleasant. Dan had never seen Mr. Pennimore when he was not immaculately dressed. He always looked, to use a familiar expression, as though he had just stepped out of a band-box.

Well, son, said Mr. Pennimore, I guess everything’s all right. You’ve got a nice, clean, pleasant room here and Dan to keep you from getting homesick. They don’t put very much in the rooms, do they? asked Gerald Pennimore a trifle dubiously. Supper was over and Mr. Pennimore and the two boys, after a visit to the Office, had come up to Clarke. Mr. Pennimore was returning to New York on the nine-thirty-eight train,Hermes Marquetee Buckle Belt Black in spite of the fact that Doctor Hewitt, the Principal, had pressed him to spend the night at Yardley. Well, I don’t see but what you have everything that you need, replied Gerald’s father, adding with a smile, You must remember, son, that you’re here to study and work.

When I went down I kept my eyes open and saw him almost at once. I thought he was drowned already, for he didn’t seem to be struggling at all, just lying down there in the mud on top of a lot of sunken branches and rubbish. He was only three or four yards from the bank, but the pond is real deep there. There’s a sort of channel where the water has cut along the side. Well, I grabbed him by the shoulders and tried to bring him up. He came about a foot and then held. I pulled and tugged, but couldn’t raise him. Louis Vuitton Original Sunglasses LV0925U I stayed down until I thought my head was going to burst open, and then I came up. And as I got my head out of water and took a breath I heard a splash and saw some one dive by me. It was all terribly confused. I didn’t even wonder who the other fellow was. I just filled up with air and went down again. It was hard to see now, for the water was all roiled up with mud and sediment from the bottom, but I could make out that the other fellow had his arms around Harry and was pulling.

Who was with you? asked Alf. Thompson. That was funny, wasn’t it? I guess if he hadn’t come just when he did Harry would have drowned. He stopped and shivered. Here, you lie down there and pull the covers over you, said Dan. You’d better go to sleep, too. No, I couldn’t go to sleep,Louis Vuitton Original Sunglasses LV0741 Green really! cried Gerald. I’d rather talk. But he followed Dan’s advice and snuggled down under a blanket. How did it happen? asked Alf. I can’t make heads nor tails of it. So Gerald told his story. Part of it we already know. The rest Gerald told as follows:

How is he now? Then he saw Dan’s white face, faltered, and sank down heavily on the bed. He’s notnot dead? he whispered. No, the doctor says he will be all right, answered Dan hurriedly. Oh! You looked soso white that I was afraidn Why shouldn’t he look white? demanded Alf gruffly. We heard you were both drowned, you and Merrow. Some silly fool came over to the gym and told us. Me? Oh, II’m sorry, answered Gerald troubledly. I didn’t know Well, you needn’t look so sad about it, said Dan, Louis Vuitton Original Sunglasses LV0945 with a little laugh as he sat down. All’s well that ends well, but you certainly had us pretty well scared. Look here, Gerald, how about your father? Do you suppose he’s heard the yarn? No. Gerald reached over to the table and looked at his watch. He isn’t home yet. I was going over there, but the doctor says I must go to bed. I am kind of played out. We had to paddle pretty fast coming back.

Now, I’m going to ask you boys to be very quiet this evening, he announced. Your friend is doing very nicely, but I want him to have a good long sleep. So just as little noise as possible, please! He passed on, and a murmur of relief grew and spread in the hall. Louis Vuitton Original Sunglasses LV1072 Green Then by ones and twos the fellows withdrew from the building or crept tip-toeing to their rooms. Dan and Alf were already hurrying across the Yard to Clarke. Gee, said Dan, taking a long breath, I was scared! So was I, replied Alf soberly. When they opened the door of Number , Gerald, attired in his dressing-gown, was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking ruefully at a pair of water-soaked white buckskin shoes. He dropped them when he saw Dan and Alf, and cried anxiously:

Dan felt the enthusiasm as well as the rest, and only wished that he might have the chance that the others would have of proving himself. He had sat on the bench all the afternoon, watching and waiting and hoping. But, irony of ironies, where all the team had played poor ball, there was one who had done a little better than the rest; and that one was Condit! Dan was disheartened. Versace Lace-up Low Top Leather Sneakers White Even Danforth, the crack second baseman, had been outplayed by Condit; in fact, Danforth had managed to make about as poor an exhibition of himself as possible, letting hit after hit go through his position, and missing more than one throw to second. But Danforth’s demoralization brought Dan no comfort, for Danforth, he knew, was a fellow who would make good the next time; Danforth had proved himself time and again. No, try as he would, Dan couldn’t see himself in the Broadwood game, and he took his way back to Clarke, the one silent member of the little throng of players and substitutes, feeling rather out of it.

But by Monday he had reached a more philosophical frame of mind. Up until Saturday he had hoped. Now he had stopped hoping and found that he could be quite cheerful. He might possibly get into the game for an inning or a half an inning, and, anyway, there was another year coming. Besides, life was pretty busy nowadays, and there wasn’t much time for thought, happy or regretful. In a little more than a week Graduation Day would come, bringing the end of the school year and the commencement of the Summer holidays.Versace Low-top Studs Sneakers Black Meanwhile, the First Class fellows went about with worried countenances and absent-minded glances, being in the middle of final examinations. All the other fellows were doing finals, too, but it isn’t so serious when you’re not graduating and when a diploma doesn’t depend on your ability to present in a few hours what it has taken you a whole school year to store up.
