The knots with which the "cummitty" were tied were carefully looked to and strengthened, and then the Lakerimmers withdrew from the cupola, taking the lantern with them, dragging a heavy trap-door over their heads as they descended the ladder, and then taking the ladder away and laying it on the floor.
To half a dozen of the notes these words were added: You are wanted at the Gymnasium at a 1/4 to 7 to serve on a cummitty. Be there sharp. The Crows naturally did not know the handwriting of every one of their number, and did not recognize that the notes were of History's manufacture. They were a little mystified, but suspected nothing.
At a quarter of seven the six who had been requested to serve on the "cummitty" came in a body, and finding the door of the gymnasium fastened, knocked gently. They heard a low voice from the inside ask: "Who's there?" And they gave their names. "Do you all belong to the Crows?" Of course they answered: "Yes." They were then admitted in single file into the vestibule, which was absolutely dark.
