Sayfa 96 - What would have been the result is doubtful, for at that moment the sixth-form boy came in, and not another word could be said. Tom and the rest rushed into bed and finished their unrobing there, and the old verger, as punctual as the clock, had put out the candle in another minute, and toddled on to the next room, shutting their door with his usual "Good night, genl'm'n.
Sayfa 18 - Tom amongst them, who are making for the goal under the School-house wall, are the School-house boys who are not to play-up, and have to stay in goal. The larger body moving to the island goal are the School boys in a like predicament.
Sayfa 27 - ... on his hands and knees arching his back, and Tom all along on his face. Over them topple the leaders of the rush, shooting over the back of the praepostor, but falling flat on Tom, and knocking all the wind out of his small carcase. "Our ball," says the praepostor, rising with his prize, "but get up there, there's a little fellow under you.
Sayfa 17 - I say," said East, as soon as he got his wind, looking with much increased respect at Tom, "you ain'ta bad scud, not by no means. Well, I'm as warm as a toast now." " But why do you wear white trousers in November ? " said Tom. He had been struck by this peculiarity in the costume of almost all the School-house boys. "Why, bless us, don't you know?—No, I forgot.
Sayfa 22 - No! a long stagger, but the danger is past; that was the shock of Crew, the most dangerous of dodgers. And now he is close to the School goal, the ball not three yards before him. There is a hurried rush of the School fags to the spot, but no one throws himself on the ball, the only chance, and young Brooke has touched it right under the School goal-posts.
Sayfa 21 - Old fellow, wasn't that just a splendid scrummage by the three trees !" But he knows you, and so do we. You don't really want to drive that ball through that scrummage, chancing all hurt for the glory of the school-house, but to make us think that's what you...
Sayfa 20 - The ball has just fallen again where the two sides are thickest, and they close rapidly around it in a scrummage ; it must be driven through now by force or skill, till it flies out on one side or the other. Look how differently the boys face it. Here come two of the bull-dogs, bursting through the outsiders; in they go, straight to the heart of the scrummage, bent on driving that ball out on the opposite side. That is what they mean to do.
Sayfa 26 - Crab Jones catches it for a moment ; but before he can kick, the rush is upon him and passes over him ; and he picks himself up behind them with his straw in his mouth, a little dirtier, but as cool as ever. The ball rolls slowly in behind the School -house goal not three yards in front of a dozen of the biggest School players-up.
Sayfa 12 - Tom, notwithstanding his bumptiousness, felt friends with him at once, and began sucking in all his ways and prejudices, as fast as he could understand them. East was great in the character of cicerone; he carried Tom through the great gates, where were only two or three boys. These satisfied themselves with the stock questions — " You fellow, what's your name ? Where do you come from ? How old are you...
Sayfa 14 - East to stop; but he shot through with his convoy and landed him in the long dark passages, with a large fire at the end of each, upon which the studies opened. Into one of these, in the bottom passage, East bolted with our hero, slamming and bolting the door behind them, in case of pursuit from the hall, and Tom was for the first time in a Rugby boy's citadel. He hadn't been prepared for separate studies, and was not a little astonished and delighted with the palace in question.
