"I suppose you are going to a school some day, aren't you?"
"Left?" said she, with a little laugh.
"Tell me all about it."
And I did, and found her not only interested and sympathetic, but decidedly indignant on my account.
"It was a great shame," said she, "especially as your friend never shot the dog at all."
"He's all right, lucky chap," said I; "he's got an exhibition to Low Heath, and is going there after the holidays."
"Why don't you get an exhibition too, Jones?"
The question astounded me. I get an exhibition! I who had been licked once a week for bad copies, and had been told by every teacher I had had anything to do with that I was a hopeless dunce.
"Why not?" said the siren at my side. "You're not a dunce. I can tell that by the way you picked up some of the Caesar just now. You're lazy, that's all. That's easily cured."
"But I'd have no chance at Low Heath. Tempest was a dab at lessons."
"He's older than you. Besides, the junior exhibitions are not as hard to get. When will you be fourteen?"
"July next year."
