Sociables,

Select Sociables of your high character. I do not understand what you mean about your row. What row are you in? _Are_ you in a row? You don't call that little matter that I am expecting to talk to the
gpt
Sociables about on Wednesday a row, do you? Please give my kind regards to Georgie Heathcote, and tell him he will need to beg hard before I trouble him to lay my cloth. No doubt he has given you many interesting stories of the miserable week he spent with me last holidays in London. I'm not surprised at his turning against me after that. I hope I shall not have to tell anyone some of the stories he has told me of Richardson and Coote. Excuse this long letter, and believe me, my dear young jail-birds, your
human
Firm as they walked down to the
gpt
Tub. Its full sting did not come out till after three or four careful perusals, and then the

gpt
I couldn't believe any fellow could be such a cad,
human
It's jolly awkward! said Heathcote.
gpt
You know he was awfully civil to me in London, and it does seem low to be cutting him now.
human
Civil, be hanged! said Dick.
gpt
He tried to get hold of you to make a cad of you, that's what he did; and you were precious near being one, too, when you came back, weren't you?
human
Was I?
gpt
Rather, said Coote;
human
Well, of course, said Georgie,
gpt
Except that it makes him all the bigger a cad.
human
What on earth shall we do about the other thing?
gpt
The row? We must cheek it, that's all. If he does us over the 'Sociable' election, we can't be helped.
human
And suppose he gets us transported?
gpt
Can't do it, I tell you; my father will be up here, you know.

gpt
I say, what does he mean about the stories I told about you and Coote. I never told any stories, that I remember. I never had any to tell.
human
Ah, I was wondering what that meant, said Dick.
gpt
He speaks as if you'd been blabbing all sorts of things.
human
I really don't think I ever did, said Heathcote, ransacking his memory.
gpt
I may have said once I thought Coote was rather an ass, but that was all.
human
What made you tell him that?
gpt
He asked me if I didn't think so, said Georgie, apologetically,
human
Rather,
gpt
But he's telling crams about you, Dick, said Georgie;
human
I'm quite sure of that. He used to try and make out you were a sneak and a prig; and perhaps I believed him once or twice, but that was while I was a cad, you know.
gpt
Oh, yes, that's all right!
