Question: CHAPTER IX 

THE FOOTBALL MEETING 

In a few days Dave felt as much at home as ever. Nearly all of his old friends had returned to Oak Hall, and dormitories Nos. 11 and 12 were filled with as bright a crowd of lads as could well be found anywhere. In the number were Gus Plum and Chip Macklin, but the former was no longer the bully as of old, and the latter had lost his toadying manner, and was quite manly, and the other students treated them as if all had always been the best of friends. 

It did Dave's heart good to see the change in Plum, and he was likewise pleased over the different way in which Macklin acted. 

"I never thought it was in Gus and Chip," he said, privately, to Roger. "It shows what a fellow can do if he sets his mind to it." 

"It's to your credit as much as to their own," declared the senator's son. "I don't believe Gus would have reformed if you hadn't braced him up." 

"I wish I could reform Nat Poole." 

"You'll never do it, Dave--but you may scare him into behaving himself." 

"Have you met Guy Frapley, Roger--I mean to talk to?" 

"Yes, in the gym., where Phil and I were practicing with the Indian clubs." 

"What do you think of him?" 

"I think he is fairly aching to become the leader of the school. He was leader at Laverport, and it breaks his heart to play second fiddle to anybody here. He and Nat are as thick as two peas. They tell me he is a great football player, so I suppose he will try to run the eleven--if the fellows will let him."  1. Who was one person who returned to Oak Hall?

Question: Chapter XIII. August 1st, 1714 

“Does my mistress know of this?” Esmond asked of Frank, as they walked along. 

“My mother found the letter in the book, on the toilet-table. She had writ it ere she had left home,” Frank said. “Mother met her on the stairs, with her hand upon the door, trying to enter, and never left her after that till she went away. He did not think of looking at it there, nor had Martin the chance of telling him. I believe the poor devil meant no harm, though I half killed him; he thought ’twas to Beatrix’s brother he was bringing the letter.” 

Frank never said a word of reproach to me, for having brought the villain amongst us. As we knocked at the door I said; “When will the horses be ready?” Frank pointed with his cane, they were turning the street that moment. 

We went up and bade adieu to our mistress; she was in a dreadful state of agitation by this time, and that bishop was with her whose company she was so fond of. 

“Did you tell him, my lord,” says Esmond, “that Beatrix was at Castlewood?” The bishop blushed and stammered: 

“Well,” says he, “I——” 

“You served the villain right,” broke out Mr. Esmond, “and he has lost a crown by what you told him.” 

My mistress turned quite white. “Henry, Henry,” says she, “do not kill him.” 

“It may not be too late,” says Esmond; “he may not have gone to Castlewood; pray God, it is not too late.” The bishop was breaking out with some _banales_ phrases about loyalty and the sacredness of the sovereign’s person; but Esmond sternly bade him hold his tongue, burn all papers, and take care of Lady Castlewood; and in five minutes he and Frank were in the saddle, John Lockwood behind them, riding towards Castlewood at a rapid pace.  1.
