The boys had managed, through the friendly offices of Demy Miller, the studious janitor, to enter the dormitory unseen by the proctor or any of his scouts. "Yes, I'm here," said Tom with a smile, as he limped to an easy chair. "Ray, have a seat. Boys, allow me to introduce my cousin, Ray Blake." "Your your cousin!" gasped Jack. "Yes.

All things were so curiously and finely wrought, that it seemed either to be the worke of some Demy god, or of God himselfe.
Addison, who was at school at Lichfield in 1683-4-5, went to the Charterhouse in 1686, and left in 1687, when he was entered of Queen's College, Oxford.
