'There's an old bookcase belonging to Mr. Reginald in the box-room, Susan said; 'I'll speak to Miss Caroline about it. 'Did you know my father? Henrietta asked at once. 'Yes, Miss Henrietta, Susan said. 'Do you think I'm like him? 'It's a striking likeness, Miss Henrietta, and warming a little, Susan added, 'I was just saying so to Cook. 'Did Cook know him, too? 'Oh, yes, Miss Henrietta.
The two boys ran quickly across to the big schoolroom, and entered just in time to take their seats before the master on duty called, "Silence!" As might have been expected, none of the Triple Alliance put in an appearance at supper that evening; as a matter of fact, they were congregated in a quiet corner of the box-room, listening to a graphic account of Diggory's adventures.
"Well, the Sixth all have studies; then comes Remove, and those chaps have a room to themselves; all the rest have desks in the big school, and you hang about there, though of course, if you like, there's the gymnasium, or the box-room that's where a lot of fellows spend most of their time." "What sort of a place is that?" "Oh, it's where the play-boxes are kept. Come along; we'll go there next."
So, my dear, I made Mary bring the biggest tray in the house, and I filled it three times over with gimcracks of all descriptions, and sent them up to the box-room cupboard. I kept about three tables instead of seven, with really nice things on them, and left a good sweep of floor on which you could walk about without knocking things down.
You recommend this you recommend that! You say how and when we go back to our study!" "But but we thought you'd like it, Turkey. We did, indeed. You know you'll be ever so much more comfortable there." Harrison's voice was almost tearful. McTurk turned away as though to hide his emotions. "They're broke!" He hunted up Stalky and Beetle in a box-room. "They're sick!
Then came the joyful afternoon when trunks were brought down from the box-room, and the school began its congenial task of packing. The accustomed term-end routine was gone through, and next morning three tired mistresses saw twenty excited pupils safely into their respective railway carriages. "Only a week and we meet again," said Loveday to Diana, whose train started first.
The sleep she had not dared to hope for fell upon her whilst she was trying to set her thoughts in order. She slept until eight o'clock; her headache was gone. Neither with her father, nor with Olga, did she speak of what had passed. Before going to bed, she packed carefully a large dress-basket and a travelling-bag, which a servant brought down for her from the box-room.
Kathleen suddenly caught sight of them, and demanded in an eager tone that Maggie should exhibit her treasures. Maggie, only too pleased to have anything to do which glorified herself, immediately complied. She ran to find Miss Lucy in order to obtain the key of the box-room. "What do you want it for, dear?" said Miss Johnson in her pleasant voice.
"Gone back to the box-room," said Wilfred with superiority. "No, it wasn't I went up and looked. And her other trunk's not there, either." "Oh, you're dreaming! I bet she'd just pushed it under her bed." "Pooh!" said Avice. "That great big trunk wouldn't go under her bed you know she's only got a little stretcher-bed. And I tell you they'd both gone. I bet you anything she's going to run away."
When I peeped out a second later, the coast was entirely clear. By this time there were sounds of a household timidly emerging; and Edward remarked to me that perhaps we had better be off. Retreat was an easy matter. A stunted laurel gave a leg up on to the garden wall, which led in its turn to the roof of an out-house, up which, at a dubious angle, we could crawl to the window of the box-room.
