"But you know the fellow's roommate, Mr. Holmes," suggested Durville. "I am under the impression that you do, too, suh," replied Anstey significantly, yet without infusing offence into his even tones. It was no use. The first class could only guess.

"Yes, sir," I agreed in a strange voice. "By the way," he remarked, contemplating the bare branches above our heads, "that was an excellent theme your roommate handed in.
