Tory Burch High HeelThe borough of Wrykyn had been a little unfortunate--or fortunate,according to the point of view--in the matter of elections. The latterpoint of view was that of the younger and more irresponsible section ofthe community, which liked elections because they were exciting. Theformer was that of the tradespeople, who disliked them because they gottheir windows broken.Tory Burch Flats

Wrykyn had passed through an election and its attendant festivities inthe previous year, when Sir Eustace Briggs, the mayor of the town, hadbeen returned by a comfortable majority. Since then ill-health hadcaused that gentleman to resign his seat, and the place was once morein a state of unrest. This time the school was deeply interested in thematter. The previous election had not stirred them. They did not carewhether Sir Eustace Briggs defeated Mr Saul Pedder, Tory Burch Bootsor whether Mr SaulPedder wiped the political floor with Sir Eustace Briggs. Mr Pedder wasan energetic Radical; but owing to the fact that Wrykyn had alwaysreturned a Conservative member, and did not see its way to a change asyet, his energy had done him very little good. The school had looked onhim as a sportsman, and read his speeches in the local paper withamusement; but they were not interested. Now, however, things werechanged. The Conservative candidate,Discount Tory Burch Shoes Sir William Bruce, was one ofthemselves--an Old Wrykinian, a governor of the school, a man whoalways watched school-matches, and the donor of the Bruce Challenge Cupfor the school mile. In fine, one of the best. He was also the fatherof Jack Bruce, a day-boy on the engineering side. The school would haveliked to have made a popular hero of Jack Bruce. If he had liked, hecould have gone about with quite a suite of retainers.Tory burch shoes But he was aquiet, self-sufficing youth, and was rarely to be seen in public. Theengineering side of a public school has workshops and other weirdnesseswhich keep it occupied after the ordinary school hours.Tory Burch Flip Flops It wasgenerally understood that Bruce was a good sort of chap if you knewhim, but you had got to know him first; brilliant at his work, anddevoted to it; a useful slow bowler; known to be able to drive andrepair the family motor-car; one who seldom spoke unless spoken to, butwho, when he did speak, generally had something sensible to say. Beyondthat, report said little.Tory burch sale

As he refused to allow the school to work off its enthusiasm on him,they were obliged to work it off elsewhere. Hence the disturbanceswhich had become frequent between school and town. Tory Burch Bags The inflammatoryspeeches of Mr Saul Pedder had caused a swashbuckling spirit to spreadamong the rowdy element of the town. Gangs of youths, to adopt thepolice-court term, had developed a habit of parading the streetsarm-in-arm, shouting "Good old Pedder!" When these met some person orpersons who did not consider Mr Pedder good and old, there wasgenerally what the local police-force described as a "frakkus".Tory Burch Wallets
