There were a few feeble protests, but Mrs. Eitel bore them down, and the students trooped off upstairs to their lockers and the dressing room, well pleased to escape the prosaic end to their fun.

The inquest on the dead body was awaited with much anxiety. Judith scanned the doors critically, her brows puckered and her head aslant. "No, sir, not till to-day. I don't know what it all means, sir, but I'm sure I know how Dido got into the room.".
