The new recruit had been with the gang since the beginning of the summer
holidays, and there were possibilities about his brooding silence that all
recognized. He never wasted a word even to tell his name until that was
required of him by the rules. When he said “Trevor” it was a statement of
fact, not as it would have been with the others a statement of shame or
defiance. Nor did anyone laugh except Mike, who finding himself without

was quiet again. There was every reason why T., as he was afterward referred
to, should have been an object of mockery—there was his name (and they
substituted the initial because otherwise they had no excuse not to laugh at
it), the fact that his father, a former architect and present clerk, had “come
down in the world” and that his mother considered herself better than the
neighbors. What but an odd quality of danger, of the unpredictable,
established him in the gang without any ignoble ceremony of initiation?
