This door, madam, will remain unlocked, and you are at liberty to come and go as you please." Walter moved quickly to execute the order. Mr. Johnston addressed the rest of the pupils. "School is now dismissed until we raise the windows and air the room." "I don't want Maurice," Billy hastened to explain. "Ma wants Missus Keeler to come over an' give her a hand, so I'm on my way to tell her. Honest, Mr. Keeler, that's right." "That is so," said Captain Acton, viewing him gravely..
