Thence he came back, greatly disordered,

to find McTurk, Stalky, and the others of the company,

“They use the editorial ‘we,’” said King, irrelevantly. “It annoys me. ‘Where’s your prose, Corkran?’ ‘Well, sir, we haven’t quite done it yet.’ ‘We’ll bring it in a minute,’ and so on. And the same with the others.”

“There’s great virtue in that ‘we,’” said little Hartopp. “You know I take them for trig. McTurk may […]

«Beetle! You’re oppressed and insulted and bullied by King. Don’t you feel it?»

«Let me alone! I can write some more poetry about him if I am, I suppose.»

Prout’s house was furious because Macrea’s and Hartopp’s houses joined King’s to insult them. They called a house-meeting after dinner — an excited and angry meeting of all save the prefects, whose dignity, though they sympathized, did not allow them to attend.

“‘Take not out your ‘ounds on a werry windy day,’” Stalky struck in. “don’t care if you let him off.”
