FOREWORD
Michael T Schaper, BA, MComm, PhD
Deputy Chairman, Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, Canberra
The myriad business laws and regulations that we have in Australia provide the basis upon which
most commercial activity is undertaken. Simply put, it spells out what we can – and can’t – do in a
business context: the legal structures that can be used, the ways in which firms compete or
otherwise deal with each other, the behaviours that are acceptable when selling to customers,
how we can resolve disagreements, and the way in which risk is managed, to name just a few.
In short, it is the framework around which all commercial trading and activities takes place.
Learning the basics of business law is often seen as a tedious necessity by many students,
especially those without any prior exposure to the law and its peculiarities. But it’s a crucial
ingredient for anyone seeking to build a truly successful career in business or commerce. Knowing
the rules of the game is an important first step in being able to successfully operate as a manager,
business owner, entrepreneur, employee, director or investor.
Understanding the law is essential in many different ways.
Firstly, it is an important operational factor for many businesses. Our web of laws and regulations
jointly provide the framework that underpins almost all the other activities of business. They spell
out such basic issues, for example, as how we employ people, the manner in which we collect and
report our accounting information, and what claims can be made in an advertisement, as well as
penalties for non-compliance. Secondly, the competitive nature of business makes it almost
inevitable that, sooner or later, most firms will come into conflict or contention with someone else.
How such disputes are managed, adjudged and resolved is an important feature of the
contemporary legal environment. Our legal system may seem to focus on the responsibilities of
businesses, but it also contains important rights and protections for firms. Knowing what these
are, how they can be exercised, and the benefits of such measures can be a great help to the savvy
business operator. Finally, our laws can be a great source of competitive advantage for those who
bother to learn how they work, and why. The law matters to everyone, not just lawyers. Not
everyone understands the law equally, and those who take the time to understand what the rules
are, and what is permitted, can often plan strategically in a way that others don’t. Conversely,
history is littered with many examples of enterprises that have come unstuck by ignoring or
downplaying one or other of their legal responsibilities.
As the many cases and examples provided in this book show, the law is an evolving, challenging
aspect of the business environment. It is full of fascinating and sometimes confusing issues, and
there are many grey areas open to multiple analyses, challenges and debate. Its interpretation and
application is not always clear, but it is always important.
This sixth edition of Business and the Law will provide you with a comprehensive overview of
most of the key legal aspects you’re likely to encounter in the Australian business environment.
Each of the sections in this book is valuable, and will help you to develop a better understanding of
how laws are made, what they seek to do, and – perhaps most importantly – how they actually
operate in practice. I commend it to you.
PREFACE
Over 20 years ago the Preface to the first edition of Business, Society and the Law, as this book
was then titled, noted that:
The law is not simply peripheral to commerce. The transactions and relationships that constitute
commerce are embedded in the law. The entire fabric of commerce is woven from a complex
legal regime, statutory and judge made, which regulates all commercial activity and in relation to
which the legality and enforceability of all commercial activity must ultimately be assessed.
This proposition is even more valid today in the light of a legal and regulatory regime which is
increasingly pervasive and increasingly complex and increasingly significant. It is the hope of the
authors that this text will lead to a more productive relationship between business students and
this regulatory regime. We believe that the study of law need not intimidate students but rather
that it should attract them. Its subject matter, reflecting as it does on all aspects of life, traverses
the range from the gravely serious to the highly entertaining. While the law is not an easy pursuit it
should interest and enthuse. This is our hope for this book.
It perhaps reflects the increasing complexity of contemporary business that this sixth edition of
Business and the Law has its sixth publisher. Restructures, mergers, acquisitions and copyright
assignments have seen a new publisher for each edition. I am delighted that this edition is
published by Thomson Reuters, Australia’s premier legal publisher. I am grateful to Nick Riley for
suggesting a new edition with Thomson Reuters and to Robert Wilson for his enthusiastic support.
Particular thanks to Natasha Naude who started the project and to Vickie Ma who has had the task
of managing the project to completion. Their grace and style in the face of obfuscations and
excuses for deadlines not being met, and their wise counsel at all stages of the project, is
acknowledged and appreciated. It reflects the virtual world we live in that I have not met my New
Zealand based editor, Sarah Hullah, but my thanks to her also for converting the manuscript into
the house style and to Zoe Haynes, who has edited and refined the product. My thanks also to Dr
Michael Schaper, Deputy Chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for
contributing the Foreword. The ACCC not surprisingly features prominently in an Australian
business law text and all contributors are delighted that he has graced this edition with his
Foreword.
This edition also features a new team of contributors – colleagues in the Discipline of Business Law
in The University of Sydney Business School who have enthusiastically embraced the challenge of
breathing new life into an established text. I am grateful for their commitment and support and
contribution. And to Vinty Lim for his research and secretarial assistance. I also acknowledge the
contributions of contributors to earlier editions who have all added value to the original text
written by Des Giugni and me. Des has stepped back from the current edition but his influence
continues to resonate and his style continues to enliven so many of the pages. My personal debt
to him is inestimable.

 “I did say so, and I meant to say so. You know that you lie when
you say I had anything to do with blowing up the boat.”
“Do you tell me I lie?”
“I do; I tell you so with all my might,” I persisted, boldly.
“We’ll see about this,” said Colonel Wimpleton, furiously. “Mrs.
Penniman, your boy is impudent—impudent to me, and to my son.”
“You accuse him of something he didn’t do, and won’t hear what
he has to say,” replied my mother, meekly.
“Accuse him of what he didn’t do! Didn’t he say he had hold of
the string? Wolf had the pistol, too, and that proves the truth of what
Waddie said. How came you by the pistol?” demanded the magnate,
turning fiercely to me.
“I took it away from Waddie when he threatened to shoot me with
it, and after he had fired one ball at me.”
“Do you want to make it out that my boy intended to murder you?
Once more, will you confess to me, or will you have it proved before
a justice?”
“I don’t care where you prove it; but I shall not confess what I
didn’t do.”
“My son speaks the truth, Mrs. Penniman, though he may be a
little wild sometimes.”
“There isn’t a bigger liar in town,” said I, very imprudently.
“Do you hear that, marm?” snapped the colonel. “Didn’t my son
confess that he had a hand in the mischief? Doesn’t that show that
he is a truthful boy? Wolf is violent and abusive. I have done what I
could for your family, Mrs. Penniman.”
“I know you have, Mr. Wimpleton, and we are all very grateful to
you,” replied my trembling mother.
“I should think you were! You permit this young rascal to insult
and abuse me and my son. He calls me a rascal, and my son a liar.
Is that his gratitude?” continued the much-abused great man. “You
will hear from me again, Mrs. Penniman.”
“And you will hear from me again, Wolf Penniman. I don’t allow
any fellow to call me a liar,” added Waddie, bristling up like a bantam
rooster.
“You permit this young cub to insult and abuse me,” persisted the
magnate, as he bolted out of the front door, followed by his hopeful,
who could not help shaking his fist at me as he went out.
“What have you done, Wolf?” exclaimed my mother, when they
had gone.
“I have spoken the truth, like a man,” I replied, though I trembled
for the consequences of my bold speech to the great man.
“He will discharge your father; and, now the money is gone, he
will turn us out of house and home,” added my mother, beginning to
cry again.
“I can’t help it. I have only told the truth, and I am not going to
cower before that man and that boy any longer.”
I took my cap and left the house.
 CHAPTER XI.
BETTER THOUGHTS AND DEEDS.

I left the house more to conceal my own emotions than for any
other reason. I had been imprudent. My father was not only
dependent upon Colonel Wimpleton for the excellent situation he
held, which had enabled him to live well, to give me a good
education, and to save money to buy his place, though there was a
mortgage on the little estate that would expire in a few days; so far
as liberality in financial matters was concerned, no one could find
any fault with the magnate of Centreport.
I was accused of a crime—not merely of a piece of mischief, as
the colonel was pleased to regard it, but of a crime whose penalty
was imprisonment. By merely admitting the truth of the charge, I
could escape all disagreeable consequences, and retain for my
father and myself the favor of the mighty man in whose smile we had
prospered and grown rich. Doubtless, in the worldly sense, I had
been very imprudent. It would have been safer for me not to deny
the accusation, and not to resent the hard names applied to me.
As a matter of policy, I had always permitted Waddie to have his
own way in his dealings with me. If he ordered me to do anything, I
did it. If he called me names, I did not retort upon him. It galled me
sorely to permit the puppy to ride over me in this manner; to be
insulted, kicked, and cuffed at his royal pleasure; but while it was
simply a sacrifice of personal pride, or even of self-respect, it did not
so much matter. When, however, Waddie and his father wished to
brand me as a criminal, and to browbeat me because I would not
confess myself guilty of a deed in which I had no hand, my nature
revolted. In my indignation, I had made use of some expressions
which I had better not have used, and which I should not have used
if I had not been suffering under the weight of that sad day’s trials.
I did not care for myself under the displeasure of the mighty man.
My mother was a timid woman, and the cloud of misfortunes which
was rising over us filled her with dismay. The displeasure of Colonel
Wimpleton, the loss of the money, and above all the fear that my
father would return to his old habits, were terrors enough for one
day, and I wept for her. But what could I do? To confess myself guilty
of a crime when I was innocent was the greatest wrong I could do to
her and to myself. I would not do that, whatever else I did; and there
was no other way to win back the favor of the colonel.
After I had cooled off, I returned to the house, and found my
mother more calm than I expected. She had resumed her work; but
she looked very sad and troubled. My two sisters had gone to the
village, and as yet knew nothing of the misfortunes that were settling
down upon our house.
“Wolfert, I am sorry you were so rash,” said my mother, as I
seated myself in the kitchen.
“I am sorry myself; but I don’t think it would have made any
difference with the colonel if I had been as gentle as a lamb,” I
replied.
“Perhaps it would.”
“The colonel wished me to take upon my shoulders the blame, or
part of it, of blowing up the canal boat. Nothing less than that would
have satisfied them. You can’t wonder that I was mad, after what you
heard him say to me. I have eaten dirt before the colonel and his son
for years, and I don’t think we have made anything by it; but whether
we have or not, I won’t be called a villain and a scoundrel, or confess
a thing I didn’t do.”
“Mr. Wimpleton is a very powerful man in Centreport,” added my
mother, shaking her head in deprecation of any rash steps.
“I know he is, mother; and I will do anything I can to please him,
except sell my own soul; and he hasn’t got money enough to buy
that. I’m not going to put my nose into the dirt for him.”
“He may ruin us, Wolfert.”
“What can he do?”
“He can discharge your father.”
“Father can get as much wages in another place as he can here.
Perhaps he will be wanted on the Ruoara, now Christy has run
away.”
“But his house is here, and he meant to stay in Centreport.
Besides, Mr. Wimpleton can turn us out of the house if we don’t pay
the money, which will be due in a few days.”
“I hope Mr. Mortimer will catch Christy, and get the money. If he
don’t, there is a man in town who offered thirty-five hundred dollars
for the place; and that is more than it cost, and father won’t lose
anything.”
“You don’t know Mr. Wimpleton, Wolfert. He is a terrible man
when he is offended. If the place were sold at auction, as it would be,
he has influence enough to prevent any one from bidding on it; and
your father might lose every cent he has left in the world.”
“What would you have me do, mother?” I asked, rising from my
chair, considerably excited. “Shall I say that I helped Waddie blow up
the canal boat?”
“No, certainly not, Wolfert, unless you did help him.”
“Do you think I did, mother?”
“No, I can’t think so, after what you have said.”
“I had nothing more to do with it than you had.”
“But you can be a little more gentle with him.”
“And let him browbeat and bully me as much as he pleases? I
think, mother, if I stand up squarely for my own rights, he will respect
me all the more. For my own part, I am about tired of Centreport, for
all the people bow down and toady to Colonel Wimpleton. If he takes
snuff, everybody sneezes. All the fellows treat Waddie as though he
was a prince of the blood. I have been ashamed and disgusted with
myself a hundred times after I have let him bully me and put his foot
on my neck. I have been tempted to thrash him, a dozen times, for
his impudence; and if I didn’t do so, it was not because I didn’t want
to.”
“You must try to have a Christian spirit, Wolfert,” said the mother,
mildly.
“I do try to have a Christian spirit, mother. I haven’t anything
against Waddie or his father. If I could do a kindness to either one of
them this minute, I would do it. But I don’t think a fellow must be a
milksop in order to be a Christian. I don’t think the gospel requires
me to be a toady, or even to submit to injustice when I can help
myself. I don’t ask to be revenged, or anything of that sort; I only
desire to keep my head out of the dirt. I am going to try to be a man,
whatever happens to me.”
 “If you will only be a Christian, Wolfert, I can ask no more.”
“I will try to be; but do you think yourself, mother, that I ought to
stand still and allow myself to be kicked?”
“You must not provoke your enemies.”
“I will not, if I can help it; but I think it is pretty hard to keep still
when you are called a rascal and a villain. If you think I ought to
confess that I helped blow up the canal boat when I did not, I will”—
I was going to say I would do it, but the words choked me, and I
could not utter them.
“I don’t wish you to say so, Wolfert.”
“Then I am satisfied; and I will try to be gentle while they abuse
me.”
At this moment Waddie Wimpleton bolted into the room, without
taking the trouble to announce himself beforehand.
“My father says you must come up and see him at once,” said the
scion in his usual bullying and offensive tone.
“Where is he?” I asked, as quietly as I could speak, under the
influence of my good mother’s lesson.
“At the house. Where do you suppose he is?” pouted Waddie.
“And he says, if you don’t come, he’ll send a constable after you.”
“What does he want of me?”
“None of your business what he wants. All you’ve got to do is to
go.”
“If I conclude to go, I will be there in a few moments,” I added.
“If you conclude to go!” exclaimed Waddie. “Well, that is cool! Do
you mean to say you won’t go?”
“No, I don’t mean to say that.”
“Well, I want to know whether you are going or not,” demanded
the scion.
“Shall I go, mother?” I asked, appealing to her.
“I think you had better go, Wolfert.”
“Then I will go.”
“You had better,” continued Waddie, who could not help bullying
even after his point was gained.
The gentlemanly young man left the house, and my mother
admonished me again not to be saucy, and to return good for evil. I
hoped I should be able to do so. If I failed, it would not be for the
want of a good intention. I walked up the road towards the mansion
of the great man, thinking what I should say, and how I could best
defend myself from the charge which was again to be urged against
me. The situation looked very hopeless to me as I jumped over the
fence in the grove, through which there was a path which led to the
house of the colonel.
“Here he is,” said Waddie, accompanying the remark with a yell
not unlike an Indian war-whoop.
I halted and turned around. Behind me stood the scion of the
great house of Centreport, with a club in his hand, and attended by
half a dozen of the meanest fellows of the Institute, armed in like
manner. They had been concealed behind the fence; and of course I
instantly concluded that the colonel’s message was a mere trick to
decoy me into the grove.
“Do you wish to see me?” I asked as coolly as I could; and the
circumstances under which we appeared to meet were not favorable
to a frigid demeanor.
“Yes, I want to see you,” replied Waddie, moving up to me, and
flourishing his stick. “You must settle my account before you see my
governor.”
“What do you want of me?” I demanded, as I edged up to a big
tree, which would protect me from an assault in the rear.
“You told my father I was the biggest liar in town,” blustered
Waddie. “I’m going to give you the biggest licking for it you ever had
in your life.”
“Go in, Waddie!” shouted Sam Peppers. “We’ll stand by, and see
fair play.”
“Are you ready to take your licking?” bullied Waddie, who did not
seem to be quite ready to commence the operation.
“No, I am not,” I answered, quietly; and I never spoke truer words
in my life.
“You called me the biggest liar in town—didn’t you?”
“I did.”
“Have you anything to say about it?”
“I have,” I replied, still moved by the gentle words of gospel
wisdom which my mother had spoken to me.
“If you have, say it quick.”
 “I was angry when I spoke the words, and I am sorry for uttering
them.”
“Ha, ha! humph!” yelled the half-dozen ruffians in concert.
“Get down on your knees and beg my pardon, then,” said
Waddie.
“No, I will not do that,” I replied, firmly.
 CHAPTER XII.
WOLF’S FORTRESS.

U nder the influence of the better thoughts which my good mother

had suggested to me, I was willing to do better deeds. I was
ready to apologize; I had done so, but I could not go down upon my
knees before such a fellow as Waddie Wimpleton, or any fellow, for
that matter. It was hard enough for me to say I was sorry; and I had
done so for my mother’s sake, rather than my own.
“I don’t think you are very sorry for what you said,” sneered
Waddie.
“I am sorry enough to apologize. I really regret that I made use of
any hard expressions,” I replied.
“Then get down on your knees, and beg my pardon, as I tell you,”
persisted Waddie, flourishing his stick. “If you do, I’ll let you off on
part of the punishment.”
“I apologized because I had done wrong, and not because I was
afraid of the punishment,” I added, still schooling my tongue to gentle
speech.
“Humph!” exclaimed the scion; and my remark was based on a
philosophy so subtle that he could not comprehend it.
“Go in! Go in! Give it to him!” shouted the supporting ruffians.
“He’s fooling you, Waddie.”
“If you are not going to do what I tell you, look out for the
consequences,” blustered the young gentleman, who still seemed to
have some doubts in regard to the prudence of his present conduct.
“Waddie Wimpleton,” said I.
“Well, what do you want now?” demanded he, dropping his
weapon again.
“If you strike me with that stick, you must look out for
consequences. I shall defend myself as well as I know how.”
Waddie glanced at his companions.
“Hit him! What are you waiting for?” cried his friends; and I have
always observed, in such cases, that it is easier to give advice than
to strike the blow.
Mr. Waddie had placed himself in a position which he could not
well evacuate. He evidently had no heart for the encounter which he
foresaw must take place if he struck me, and perhaps he had not
entire confidence in the character of the support which he was to
receive. At any rate he could not help realizing that the first blows of
the battle were likely to be dealt upon his own head.
“You called me a liar,” said he, working up his courage again by a
new recital of his wrongs.
“I did, and apologized for it,” I replied.
“Go down on your knees, then, and say you are sorry.”
“I will not.”
“Then mind your eye,” continued Waddie, as with a sudden
spring he hit me on the arm, which I had raised to ward off the blow.
I did mind my eye, and I minded his, too; for, before he could
bring up his supports, I leaped upon him. Though he was of my own
size and age, he was only a baby in my hands. I grasped his stick,
wrenched and twisted it a few times, and then threw him over
backwards into a pool of soft mud, which I had chosen to flank my
position and save me from an attack in the rear. He was half buried
in the soft compound of black mud and decayed leaves which filled
the hole, and his good clothes suffered severely from the effects of
his disaster.
The moment the conflict commenced the supports moved up;
but, before they could come into action, I had overthrown my
assailant, and stood against the tree with the club in my hand. When
Waddie went over backwards, a new duty seemed to be suggested
to his backers; and, instead of turning on me, they proceeded to help
their principal out of his uncomfortable position. Encouraged and
thoroughly waked up by my victory, I think I could have thrashed the
whole party; but I had not wholly escaped the influence of my
mother’s teachings, and was disposed to act strictly in self-defence.
The quagmire into which Waddie had fallen was near the bank of
the brook which meandered through the grove, and which had been
bridged in several places, as well to add to the convenience of
passers-by, as to increase the picturesque beauty of the place. I
deemed it best to retreat to one of these bridges, which was not
more than three feet wide, and which would enable me to defend
myself from an assault to the best advantage.
“Humph! you cowards!” snarled Waddie, as his companions lifted
him out of the slough, and he spit out the mud and water which filled
his mouth. “Why didn’t you stand by me, as you promised?”
“We expected you to make a better fight than that,” replied one of
them; and it was doubtful to me whether they could assign any good
reason why they had not stood by him.
“I did the best I could, and you did not come near me. I’m in a
pretty pickle,” sputtered Waddie, as he glanced at his soiled
garments.
“We’ll give it to him yet,” said one of the party, as he glanced at
me securely posted on the bridge.
“Where is he?” asked Waddie.
I was pointed out to him, and the sight of me inflamed all his zeal
again.
“Come on, fellows; and stand by me this time, I wish I had my
revolver here.”
I was very glad he had not that formidable weapon about him,
though I don’t think he could have hit me if he had fired at me; but he
sometimes struck the mark by accident. Waddie took a club from the
hand of one of his supporters, and rushed towards the bridge.
Though he was not a master of strategy, he could not help seeing
that I was well posted, and he halted suddenly before he reached the
brook.
“We must drive him from the bridge, where we can have fair
play,” said Waddie.
I did not just then see how this was to be done; but I was soon
able to perceive his plan. The scion led his forces to a position on
the brook above me, and, taking some stones from the shallow
stream, began to pelt me with a vigor which soon rendered my place
untenable. Several of the missiles hit me, though I was not much
hurt by them. Under these circumstances, I was helpless for
defensive purposes, for I had nothing with which to return the fire. It
was useless for me to stand there, and be peppered with stones. I
concluded to retreat in good order, and brought myself off without
any material damage.
 WOLF’S FORTRESS.—Page 133.

The only safe line by which I could retire was in the direction of
the mansion of Colonel Wimpleton. I crossed the brook farther down,
and came to a rustic summer house, on the bank of the stream. It
was built on a high foundation, to afford a prospect of the lake, and
the only admission was through the door, which was reached by a
long flight of steps. I immediately took possession of this structure,
assured that I could defend the door, while its walls would protect me
from the missiles of my assailants.
Waddie led his forces up to my fortress, and surveyed the
situation. They attempted to drive me out with stones; but they fell
harmless upon the building. The besiegers consulted together, and
decided to make an assault on the works. I was entirely willing they
should do so, for I could knock them over with the club as fast as
they came up, having all the advantage of position. Ben Pinkerton
volunteered to lead the forlorn hope, and advanced with
considerable boldness to the attack. I gave him a gentle rap on the
head as he appeared at the door, and he fell back, unable to reach
me with his stick, as I stood so much higher than he.
“Better keep back,” I remonstrated with him. “If there are any
broken heads, they will be yours.”
Dick Bayard then attempted to climb up the railing of the stairs,
so as to be on a level with me; but I knocked his fingers with my
stick, and he desisted. It was plain to them, after this trial, that a
direct assault was not practicable, and they retired to the ground
below. Another consultation followed in the ranks of the enemy; and
by this time Waddie’s friends were quite as much interested in the
affair as he was himself.
“I wish I had my revolver,” said the scion. “Hold on! I will go to the
house and get it; you stay here, and don’t let him come down.”
“Oh, no! We don’t want any pistol,” protested Ben Pinkerton. “You
mustn’t shoot him!”
“Why not? I would shoot him as quick as I would a cat. I wouldn’t
kill him, of course; but I would make him come down, and give us fair
play on the ground,” added Waddie.
Fair play! Seven of them, armed with clubs, against one! That
was Waddie’s idea of fair play.
“No; we don’t want any pistols,” persisted Ben. “Some one might
get hurt, and then we should be in a bad scrape.”
“What are you going to do?” demanded the young gentleman.
“Are you going to let him stay up there and crow over us? I’m wet
through, and I don’t want to stay here all day. I’ll tell you what I’ll do.
I’ll set the summer house on fire. That will bring him down.”
This was a brilliant idea of Waddie, and I was afraid he would put
it into operation, for he was reckless enough to do anything.
“That won’t do,” replied the prudent Pinkerton. “We don’t want to
get into any scrape.”
“No; don’t set it on fire,” added Dick Bayard; and so said all of
them but Waddie; for probably they foresaw that they would have to
bear all the blame of the deed.
“I don’t want to stay here all day,” fretted Waddie.
“Put it through by daylight!” I ventured to suggest, as I sat on the
upper step, listening to the interview.
 “He is laughing at us,” said the scion, angrily.
“Let him laugh; he is safe,” replied Ben. “I’ll tell you what we can
do.”
“Well, what?” asked Waddie, as he cast a discontented glance at
me.
“Let us camp out here to-night,” continued Ben.
“Camp out!” repeated several of the party, not fully
comprehending the idea of the fertile Pinkerton’s brilliant mind.
“Starve him out, I mean,” explained Ben. “We will stay here and
keep him a close prisoner till he is willing to come down and take his
licking like a man.”
Stupid as this plan seemed to me, it was promptly adopted. But
the enemy retired out of hearing to complete the arrangement,
though they were near enough to fall upon me if I attempted to
escape. I did not consider myself a match for the whole of them on
the ground, and I had expected to be terribly mauled, as I should
have been if my wits had not served me well.
Presently I saw Waddie leave the party, and walk towards his
father’s house. I concluded that he had gone to change his clothes,
for his plight was as disagreeable as it could be. His companions
took position near the foot of the steps, with the clubs in their hands,
ready to receive me if I attempted to evacuate my fortress. I was
quite comfortable, and rather curious to know what they intended to
do.
I waited an hour for the return of Waddie, during which time I
studied the structure in which I was a prisoner, and its surroundings,
in order to prepare myself for action when it should be necessary. It
was plain to me that the scion was taking more time than was
needed to change his clothes. I thought something had happened at
the house; and in this impression I was soon confirmed by the
appearance of Colonel Wimpleton, attended by two men.
 CHAPTER XIII.
CAPTAIN SYNDERS.

T here were not many men in Centreport who were not either the
toadies or the employees of Colonel Wimpleton. He was an
absolute monarch in the place, and his will was law, to all intents and
purposes, though of course he did not operate with all as he did with
me. Ordinarily, and especially when not opposed, he was a very
gentlemanly man, affable to his equals,—if he had any equals in
town,—and condescending to his inferiors.
I was not quite willing to believe that Waddie had called upon his
father for aid. It was more probable that the scion’s dirty plight had
attracted the attention of his parents, and called forth an explanation.
But it was all the same to me, since Colonel Wimpleton was coming
with efficient aid to capture and reduce me to proper subjection. It
was no common enemy with whom I was called upon to contend, but
the mighty man of Centreport, whose will none dared to oppose.
As the party approached, I saw that one of the men was Captain
Synders, the ex-skipper of a canal boat, who had been promoted to
the honors and dignities of a constable. I was somewhat appalled
when I considered his official position, for he was armed with
authority, and it would be hardly safe for me to offer any resistance to
him. The coming of Colonel Wimpleton nipped in the bud the
scheme of the bullies to camp out around me, and I was rather glad
to have the case settled without any unnecessary delay.
The summer house, which was a poor imitation of an Indian
pagoda, mounted on piles, had a door, with a window in each of its
octagonal faces. On the other side of the brook was a large tree,
whose branches partially shaded the building. During my study of the
situation, I had arranged a plan by which my escape could be
effected at a favorable moment. I could pass out at one of the
windows, and climb to the roof of the pagoda, from which the
overhanging branches of the trees would afford me the means of
reaching the ground. The only difficulty in my way was, that my
besiegers would be able to reach the foot of the tree before I could,
and thus cut off my retreat. But the summer house was located near
the lake, and the brook at this point was wide and deep, so that it
could not be crossed except on the bridge, which was several rods
distant. My line of retreat would be available only when the besiegers
were off their guard, or were not in a situation to pursue instantly.
When Colonel Wimpleton appeared, Waddie’s six brave
companions retired from the ground, fearful, perhaps, of getting into
a scrape. I saw them move off a short distance, and halt to observe
the proceedings. The great man and his associates devoted their
whole attention to me, and did not heed the students. They came
directly to the foot of the stairs, while I sat at the head of them. I had
made a movement to retire when the valiant six retreated; but I saw
that the attempt would only throw me into the hands of the
reënforcements.
“Come down, you villain!” called Colonel Wimpleton, as he halted
at the foot of the stairs.
To this summons to surrender I made no reply.
“What do you mean by knocking my son over into the mud?” he
added, angrily.
“He began it upon me, sir,” I replied. “He brought up half a dozen
fellows to lick me, and struck me with a club.”
“He served you right. I told you to come down.”
“I know you did, sir.”
“Are you coming down?”
“Not just yet.”
“Go up and bring him down, Synders,” said the colonel to the
officer.
“I’ll bring him down,” replied the zealous constable.
But he did not.
I sprang to my feet, leaped out upon the trimmings of the pagoda,
and vaulted to the roof almost in the twinkling of an eye—at any rate,
before Captain Synders reached the inside of the summer house.
The constable looked out of the window at my elevated position. He
was too clumsy to follow me, and I felt that I was perfectly safe. From
the roof I saw that the branches of the tree were more favorable to
my descent than I had supposed, and I found that I could climb into
another tree on the same side of the brook as the pagoda. I jumped
into the branches of this tree, and began to move down. I found that
my gymnastic practice at the Institute, where I had excelled in this
department, was of great service to me, and I was quite sure that no
man could follow me.
Perching myself on a branch, I paused to examine the situation
again. Captain Synders sent the man who had come with him, and
who was one of the gardeners, to the foot of the tree to intercept my
retreat. I did not purpose to go down that way, but intended, at the
right time, to return to the roof of the pagoda, and descend on the
other side of the brook. My movement in this direction was only a
feint. The colonel expected, doubtless, that I would drop down into
the arms of the gardener, and that the chase would be immediately
ended; but, seated on the branch, I kept still, and said nothing.
“Are you going down, you scoundrel?” roared the colonel, when
he found the plan did not work.
“No, sir, not yet.”
“You are on my grounds, and I will have you arrested as a
trespasser,” foamed the colonel.
“You sent for me, sir, and I came at your request.”
“Who sent for you?”
“You did, sir; ask Waddie; he was your messenger.”
“I didn’t send for you.”
“Waddie came to my house, and said you wanted to see me.”
“I want to see you now, at any rate.”
“Here I am, sir.”
“You shall be punished for knocking my son over into the mud.”
“I would like to talk this matter over coolly, Colonel Wimpleton,” I
continued, taking an easy position in the tree, “I apologized to
Waddie for calling him a liar, and I am sorry I was saucy to you.”
“Humph! Come down from that tree, then. If you make a clean
breast of it, I will let you off easy.”
“I don’t think I’m to blame for anything except being saucy,” I
replied; and I did not think I was much to blame for that, after he had
called me a villain and a scoundrel, and other hard names; still it was
returning evil for evil.
