They all agreed that it was the cleverest thing that had been done in that line.","Why should this pair of wretches steal the body?","The body is gone!" cried David, hurrying toward the bed.,"I don't understand you.",They met Doris Leighton coming out of the students' door, and after a few inquiries found that she had just accomplished the same errand that Patricia was bent on.

The trial was brought to an abrupt conclusion, the court was cleared, and the body of the dead man taken to the residence of Major Jen.
