However, I'll do the best I can and not hold myself at all responsible for myself, and then who will there be to blame? As she spoke a gong sounded from beyond the closed door of a nearby class room; there was sound of movement and subdued voices, then the door swung grudgingly and a number of students of various ages with smudged hands and soiled aprons came straggling out into the dim corridor, laden with canvases and drawings to be stowed in the long line of lockers that stretched on either side of the hallway. "Don't ask me. Uncle Jen; I can't answer you yet.".
