Chapter XXVI
“I HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE A COWARD.” Something which happened immediately after Fischer left the tent effectually drove from Mark’s mind all ideas of fights and first classmen. It was the blessed long-expected signal, a roll upon the drum, the summons to fall in for the evening’s dress parade. And oh, how those plebes were “spruced up!” The four members of the Banded Seven who roomed in Mark’s tent had taken turns looking over each other in the effort to find a single flaw.
