Finally, the subject states were deprived of their internal constitutions, and were governed by annual prefects chosen in Rome.
"I never liked Mill much," said Barry, "but I think it's rather bad luck on the man." "Once," announced M'Todd, solemnly, "he kicked me for making a row in the passage." It was plain that the recollection rankled. Barry would probably have pointed out what an excellent and praiseworthy act on Mill's part that had been, when Rand-Brown came in. "Prefects' meeting?" he inquired.
The shout of laughter which followed this noble appeal suddenly dropped into a deadly silence as the lank form of Mr Bickers appeared in the doorway. Arthur rapidly lost himself in the crowd. The two prefects, with flushed faces, elbowed their way into the room as though just arrived to quell the uproar. A few boys snatched up books and flopped down at their desks.
