Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X THE POET AT THE BUMPING PACES The loss of Russell's friendship did not worry Lycidas extremely. He had never got to know him as he first hoped he might; indeed, he had no great friendships like those in the story books. Still, he now had a number of acquaintances, with whom he watched matches, played small games, went to the baths, and made Sunday excursions in or out of bounds. They were not, of course, so dazzling as the brilliant Russell, but also they were less bewildering: Lycidas knew what they meant. They, for their part, tolerated him: he wasn't a bad sort, except that he was a rotter at games. Lycidas learnt so much through a ventilator. These ventilators, fixed over the study doors and popularly known as "clappers," are the chief medium by which Salopians learn the wholesome truth about themselves. Lycidas was just about to enter the study of one whom he believed to be a friend, when his own name floated to him through the open ventilator. Unconsciously, he stood in the act of turning the handle. "Oh, he's a decent enough fellow," came in his friend's voice. "I don't know, he's not much good at anything." "No. He's not such a rotter as he was, though." Lycidas silently let go the handle, and crept back to his study, not venturing to close the door; and there he sat, thinking, feeling suddenly alone. Six months ago, he would have cried. Now he set himself, very wretched, to realize the whole meaning of what he had heard. There was nothing against him now, except that he could not play footer.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Bending of a Twig It may seem to abstract criticism that the change of tone between the First Part and the Third is an artistic blunder: and I may perhaps be allowed (having once braved a preface) to point out that it is at least based on a theory, and is intended to show the change from the new boy's irresponsibility to the monitor's fresh sense of duty. No story, it seems to me, which is consistently gay or doggedly grave throughout, can possibly describe school life.
