"You may be, then," said Sid.

"I aint goin' to march," sobbed Pip.

That feather was too much for the camel's back, especially as the camel in
this case was a two-legged one, and a boy like Sid, and he made no further
attempts at reconciliation.

"Go it as you please, then," he said, angrily, and it was, indeed, a
go-it-as-you-please column that rushed down stairs.

"I'm going home," said Wort.

"O, don't!" pleaded Charlie.

"Let him go!" shouted Sid.

"And me, too," squeaked Pip, and a second sullen knight passed out of the
yard.

"It's of no us staying here, and I guess I'll go off and find Billy,"
observed the governor, and he left to hunt up his absent cousin.

"My mother wants me, and I might as well go, for the club is broken up,"
said Sid. He sauntered out of the yard with a reckless air, his hands in
his pockets.

Charlie, Juggie, and Tony were now the only ones left, and they looked at
one another sorrowfully.
