ip rose and glanced at him timidly. Tom did not like to go up and put out his hand, and he was not prepared to say, “How do you do?” on so short a notice.
Mr. Stelling wisely turned away, and closed the door behind him; boys’ shyness only wears off in the absence of their elders.
Philip was at once too proud and too timid to walk toward Tom. He thought, or Corey Perry Jersey rather felt, that Tom had an aversion to looking at him; every one, almost, disliked looking at him; and his deformity was more conspicuous when he walked. So they remained without shaking hands or even speaking, while Tom went to the fire and warmed himself, every now and then casting furtive glances at Philip, who seemed to be drawing absently first one object and then another on a piece of paper he had before him. He had seated himself again, and as he drew, was thinking what he could say to Tom, and trying to overcome his own repugnance to making the first advances.
Tom began to look oftener and longer at Philip’s face, for he could see it without noticing the hump, and it was really not a disagreeable face — very old-looking, Tom thought. He wondered how much older Philip was than himself. An anatomist — even a mere physiognomist — would have seen that the deformity Bailey Button Leopard 5803 of Philip’s spine was not a congenital hump, but the result of an accident in infancy; but you do not expect from Mario Lemieux Jersey Tom any acquaintance with such distinctions; to him, Philip was simply a humpback. He had a vague notion that the deformity of Wakem’s son had some relation to the lawyer’s rascality, of which he had so often heard his father talk with hot emphasis; and he felt, Canada Goose Livigno Parka too, a half-admitted fear of him as probably a spiteful fellow, who, not being able to fight you, had cunning ways of doing you a mischief by the sly. There was a humpbacked tailor in the neighborhood of Mr. Jacobs’s academy, who was considered a very unamiable character, and was much hooted after by public-spirited boys solely on the ground of his unsatisfactory moral qualities; so that Tom was not without Ron Francis Jersey a basis of fact to go upon. Still, no face could be Teemu Selanne Jersey more unlike that ugly tailor’s than this melancholy boy’s face — the Belstaff XL500 Replica Kurtki brown hair round it waved and curled at the ends like a girl’s; Tom thought that truly pitiable. This Billy Smith Jersey Wakem was a pale, puny fellow, and it was quite clear he would not be able to play at anything worth speaking of; but he handled his pencil in an enviable manner, and was apparently making one thing after another without any trouble. What was he drawing? Tom was quite warm now, Nike Flyknit Air Max Męskie and wanted something new to be going forward. It was certainly more agreeable to have an ill-natured humpback as a companion than to stand looking out of the study window at the rain, and kicking his foot against the washboard in solitude; something would happen every day — “a quarrel or something”; and Tom thought he should rather like to show Philip that he had better not try his spiteful New Cardy Czyścibut 1878 tricks on CG Naiset Chilliwack Bomber untuvatakki him. Ken Dryden Jersey He suddenly walked across the hearth and looked over Philip’s paper.
