"s.h.!.+" said the Roman, laying his finger on his lips.
Stover felt as though he held the secret of kings.
"And now, John," said The Roman in a matter-of-fact tone, "since you are behind the scenes, one thing more. The real teacher, the real instructor, is not I, it is you. We of the Faculty can only paint the memory with facts that are like the writing in the sand. The real things that are learned are learned from you. Now, forgive me for being a little serious. You are a leader. It is a great responsibility. They're all looking up at you, copying you. You set the standard; set a manly one."
"I think, sir, I've tried to do that--lately," said Stover, nodding.
"And now, in the House--bring out some of the younger fellows."
"Yes, sir."
"There's Norris. Perhaps a little serious talk--only a word dropped."
"You're right, sir; I understand what you mean."
"Then there's Berbecker."
"He's only a little fresh, sir; there's good stuff in him."
"And then, John, there's a boy who's been under early disadvantages, but a bright boy, full of energy, good mind, but needs to be taken in hand, with a little kindness."
"Who, sir?"
"Bellefont."
"Bellefont!" said Stover, exploding. "I beg your pardon, sir. You're wrong there. That kid is hopeless. Nothing will do him any good. He's a perfect little nuisance. He's a thoroughgoing, out-and-out little varmint!"
The Roman tapped the table and, looking far out through the darkened window, smiled the gentle smile of one who has watched the ever-recurrent miracle of humanity, the struggling birth of the man out of the dirtied, hopeless coc.o.o.n of the boy.
And Stover, suddenly beholding that smile, all at once stopped, blushed and understood!
