And Fil, who was sitting at the piano, twirled round on the stool and strummed "Beautiful K K Katie" with a lack of technique that probably would have brought her teacher's temper up to bubbling-over point had he been there to listen to her. It was exactly ten days after the term had begun that Bess Haselford came to the College.
The man twisted and twirled at the mill to get it to stop, but for all his fiddling and fumbling the mill went on grinding, and in a little while the broth rose so high that the man was nearly drowning.
As fortune's wheel had twirled, I had my life, to be sure; but by the having of it was made the basest traitor to my friend to Jennifer, and no whit less to Margery. 'Twas out of any thought that I should take the field against the common enemy, leaving this tangled web of mystery and misery behind.
