CHAPTER V
SYNOPSIS
Timothy Hulme, principal of a
good but- impoverished Vermont
academy, lives a studious baohe-
lor existence with only his (leaf
Aunt Lavinia for company. They
take their meals' at Miss Peck's,
Timothy makes friends with a,
new teacher, Susan Barney; and
her younger sister, Delia. Now
Timothy has received a letter
from a disagreeable trustee of
the academy, Mr.. Wheaton, call-
ing him to New York.
The afternoon before this trip • to
the city, Timothy came into the house
late, Without taking off his overcoat,
without turning on a light, he drop -
Ped don on the chair in the hall cor-
ner, closed his eyes and tried to re-
lax.
• But the house was .not quiet. From
Aunt Lavinia's-room overhead came a
disorder- of sounds -a young alto
voice starting a scale over and twee',
only to be cut short at si by a queru-
lous cry from an old ,soprano.
The door of the room upstairs op-
ened and closed. Timothy got to his
feet, intending to meet Susan on: the
stairs. But the 4i:tick •rush Of light
young feet meant -two people, not en -e.
Oh, yes, the sharp little Delia was
spending the Christmas vacation with
Susan and had probably come along
to the music le'eson.
Timothy was proud of hie girl.
"She's got more understanding in one
finger than little Delia has in all her
brains." •
But driving to the Peck house for
dinner that evening he said, "See
here, Levey, couldn't yon jump down
Susan's throat a little less about her
music?" - •
She flung her head up angrily.
"Dinna talk about what ye know
nothing aboot. I'm mild as violets
and new milk with that gir-rl!"
Miss Peck's table -was vacation
small again, with only Mrs. Washburn.
Mr. Dewensthe two from the'Prince
pans house, and the two Barney sis-
ters. Susan in her blue -gray apron,
was just filling the water glasses.
When she saw Timothy she set down
the pitcher and fluttered toward him,
crying out, "Oh, Mr. Hulese! Mr.
Hulme!"
"That's my name," he admitted,
looking down at her glowing face.
"Delia and rye just had a letter
from Cousin Ann in. the Bronx and
she says we can stay overnight with
her and have a whole day in New
York and we can. afford to if you'd
let us -ride down and. back on the
back seat of your car."
He hardly heard what she said for
gazing at her. For an, instant he did
not answer..
"N`ow, Tim," geed Aunt Lavinia,
severely, "don't be so like your
father. Take the gir-r-rls along. Why
• Making a rendezvous with the Br -
• girls for dinner the next even-
ing,
Timothy Hulme left them fir up -'town at the door of Cousip. Ann's
ring -and -walk-up apartment house,
and drove on to his own small hotel
near Washington Square.
It .was late. He went to bed, but
every time he turned restlegsly over
he saw only two young provincials
with hats that were uncouth because
they showed an amount of forehead
that was right last year, not this year.
But he was tired and finally fell a-
sleep.,
He had meant to take at least two
days, perhaps three, for his various
errands, but had hastily revised his
trip to suit the Barney girls,-Iplartiting
to do by letter or telephone many of
the things he had thought to .do in
person. -Even 'so, the day. ahead of
him was formidably full. After a
shuddering glance at the headlined
news of Fascist bombing of civilians
in Spain and yet more Nazi savagery
in Germany, he -laid down the paper
to plan his comings and goings. In
the •barber's chair he tile somberly

his memorandum to verify the ad•

to meet a mother who had written
to propose her son as a student. •

LOG Htilme, you'll Ira hint a very bright

Student Why, I've had teachers tell
me that they never tied . such. a-"
Professor Hulme interrupted her
flatly width hie reciiiest to see the boy's
report card.
"Oh, I have it right here, Profes-
sor Hulme. I knew that with a care-
ful person like you .that would be the
first thing you'd ask for." The card
came out from a-petitpoint bag on
her satin Lap.
He gave one look at it. "But, Mrs.
Bernstein, there are no marks on, it
for the before -vacation examinations."
"Ale trust your experienced eye,
Professor Hulme, to ape that at a
glance. Ha! Ha! Ha! Anyone can
see that you know all about . . ."
At last he broke through by. rads-
ing his voice to say, "Well, then I'd
like to see his report card for the
last year."
"Oh, really! ' Let me. see. I don't
believe I have kept it. ' Living in a
. . you country people with
your great roomy houses and attics,
you can't imagine how hard it is for
us poor city people with no place-"
Making no pretense that he was
not interrupting her, he said, "Mrs.
Bernstein, I'm afraid I'll have to tele-
phone to Brentwood to get' your son's
✓ ecord. I could get it in a few min-
utes." .
"Wale'? 'she said in , agitation, "I'll
• might be able to find it."
After a moment of search in the
desk drawer she drew the missing
card out and 'reluctantly showed it.
It had, of course, a record of the re-
sults of examinations taken before
the last Christmas vexation. • Profes-
sor Hulme laid it down on the ele-
gant little desk and looked at Jules'
mother -from tip. North Pole. •
She threw herself on his mercy.
She was a 'Widow, she cried brokenly,
giiing her whole life to her father-
less boy. All she wanted was his
happiness. If she ,had tried to de-
ceive the- professor, it was as any
Mother would lay down her life for
her child, for . . .
After a time, "What was the mat-
ter. with Jules' 'examinations this
year?" asked Mr. Hulme. •
"I'll let you., talk to Jules himself.
But" --she put both 'hands over her
face -"before you see' him, 111 have
ter confes. s that . I've been asham-
ed to- tell you before . . . I•simply
can't pay your full tuition rates :
Her fabe still buried in her hands,
she laid ber head on the table., "It's
absolutely impossible, because . . .
the depression 'has wiped out . . .
not a single . . . my poor, poor boy,
he is . . ."
Mr. Hulme reached eilently for his
hat and turned towards the door.
"Wait! Wait!" criedthe woman
behind him, ,end ran out past him in-
to the hall, Calling "Jules! Jelest"
Out of a door at the other end, of
the long hall a. tall, thin, stooped lad
of fourteen emerged and came slowly
towards them over •the long strip of
red carpet. He held himself badly,
he walked clumsily. 1His mother ran
to meet, him, enveloping him in an
emotional .embrace. Over her head
he looked at the visitor ou-t of mel-
ancholy hazel eyes. He said wearily,
but gently, in a little boy's treble not
yetechaneed-for all his height, "Now,
Maemma„now there, Mamma ." •
,"Hello, Jules. How - do you dor
said, Mr. Hulme in the firstenatural
tone he had used. He stepped for-
ward, holding out his hand.
The by took it in a nervously taut
grip. He tried for a manly bluffness
with a "Hotv do you do, Mr. Hulme,"
but his eyes cried, "Oh, rescue. me!
Help. me to escape!"
They turned back into the expen-
sive wain; room and sat down.
"Which ones of your last exams did
you flunk?" asked the sebool teacher.
"All of them."
"What as the -matter?"
"One of th,e kids in the dorm .hed e
cello his mother made 'him take to
school and I got to fooling around
with ,11 and never studied a lick for
a months." His voice cracked ludi-
crously from treble to bass on .the
leet phrase.
His mother flung up her hands,. op-
ened her mouth to cry out, and was
Cut short by Mr. Hulme saying, 'Alf
right, Jules, come along to Vermont..
If you'd like to try us, we'll give you
a try."
Mr. Hulme was a little late for his
appointment with Mr. Wheaton .but
this gave him p0 concerti; part of the
Wheaton technique, being to mike
callers wait -those who were not
moneyed. After -rising twenty-four
stories ill a Genic elevator and find-
ing his way through marble lined
corridors to Mr. Wheaton's velvet
carpeted Italian iteneissance , outef
office, he sat looking down at his hat
on his knee, bracing himself for the
encounter before bim. ,
"Mr. Wheaton will see you now,
Mr. Hulme."
With an inward, "Oh, be will, will
he!" Professor Hulme followed the
.streamlined secretary into The Pres-
ence and was placed in a Louis, XV
armchair (which• eoet, he had
often calculated, ,as much as two
months of hs salary). The two men,
silently despising each other, shook'
hand and exchangeil greetings.
Then the Principal of to business,
bean his report, and in St MiOthee4
was being told that he had made an
enormous mistake in admitting a
Jewish boy as a student. . .
T. C. said in a rather loild voice,
to run no risk of -not being heard,
"This paiticular boy I've just accept-
ed struck me as very likable, and -for
a boy --civilized. In my opindera It is
a good thing to glass our isolated
Vermont young people some contact
with natures that have good ,points
different from their Own."
"How ,do you mean -civilized?"
Mr. 'Wheaton: challenged him. "One
of those precious, smart -aleck book-
worms, I suppose."
"Here's where 1 get his goat!\"
thought 'the sohoonteaeher, yielding
to a cheap temptation, and aloud,
with a poker, face, said eeriously, "I
wouldn't say he was bookish. 1 was
referring to a certain sensitive fine-
ness of personality -he . was . gentler
to a tiresome mother than any Yan-
kee boy would be -sand he has a die-
ing perception of musical values. To
come in contact with these qualities
would be very evlsoletiome for the
esthetic ignorance and blunt oaugh-
nees of most of our Vermont stu-
dents."
He' sat back,. smiling inwardly. To
push one of the buttons which made
Mr. Wheaton ,go into the air gave
Timothy Hulme a malicious pleasure
he could not resist -the pleasure of
contempt.
"Let me -tell you, T. C., let -me -'tell -
you, that we want. no effete European
party ideas corrupting our American
he -boys into -O"
But the trouble with making Mr.
Wheaton roar was that the sound of
his voice, no matter what it said, al-
ways tuned to a higher pitch his cer-
tainty of beingriglit. What he was
shouting about the value of plain old -
American -stock . character by God
compared to the slippery superflui-
ties of the arts, pleasedhinj so much
that by the time he stopped to pour
hibie.elf a glass of water from the sil-
ver -mounted thermos bottle he felt a
mellow man -of -the -world oompassion
for the poor teacher fromethe back -
'wood.
When the time came for the usual
hand -to --hand battle over salaries and
wages, the fight was hotter even than
.usual, the second dip of the depres-
sion and troubles t with investments
'serving as plain 'proofs of the right-
ness of ,Mr. Wheaton's ideas of thrift.
Mr. Wheaton, running his eye down
the faculty names, frowned, cried,
"All that money for a teacher of Do-
mestic 'Science" (he made the words
a sneer). "That's just poppycock, T.
C. The place for girls to learn home.
making is ' at their mother's knee.
Now cut out those two salaries for
that fool Manual Training. and, Do-
mestic Science and there'd he en-
oegh to pay a real Salary to a crack -
e' -jack athletic coach that'd put my
dear old school on the map."
