Passage :
Walter Hammond, unlike his friend, was a strong, bright, merry little fellow, never a day in the house or away from school; but he was very fond of Harry all the same. Walter had only two sisters and then a baby- brother, all of whom were rather young for him to play with, so he spent a great deal of his leisure time in the Leslies' nursery. What scores of times had Harry and Walter studied and examined the Rover! They had taken down its sails and its rigging and its masts over and over again. They knew every inch of its planks, every nail and screw about its framework. And how often they had spoken about the delight of launching it in "real live water", in the wide blue sea perhaps! That would be something worth living for. Harry and Walter were in the same class at Dr. Grierson's Academy in Roehampton, and very good scholars both were. One or other was pretty sure to be at the top most days, and if Walter was first, Harry would be not far off, and vice versa.

- Adulatory- praise and admiration for someone or something.
- Bragging- showing off someone or something boastfully.
