Excerpt from Claude Lightfoot: Or How the Problem Was Solved
He's lively as a kitten, said Rob Collins. I've been keeping an eye on him ever since the beginning of recess, and I don't think there's a square foot of ground in the {college yard he hasn't passed over. He's tripped up five or six fellows already, and just managed to get off being kicked at least twice. I think, added Rob, solemnly, and bringing into use the latest knowledge he had gleaned from a passing fit of attention in Chemis try class, I really do think that he's one of the Mercury Compounds.
Whereupon Frank Elmwood, the third of the group, rang a chestnut bell, in answer to which Rob indignantly disclaimed any attempt at joking.
