"My dear Eleanor, what is a Governor for?" demanded Lady Eynesford. "To do as he's told and subscribe to the Cup," interposed Dick Derosne. And he added, "They are having a palaver. Old Perry's been in an hour and a half." Captain Heseltine and Mr. Flemyng looked at their watches and nodded gravely. "Poor Willie!" murmured Lady Eynesford. "He'll miss his ride."
In this building, on the lower floor, the public examinations of the candidates for degrees are held, while above is the library which Sir Thomas Bodley founded in the sixteenth century, and which contains three hundred thousand volumes, including many ancient and highly-prized works in print and manuscript.

"I'm glad we've done with him, anyhow, aren't you, Eleanor?" "Perhaps we haven't," suggested Eleanor. "I wonder if he's come back." "No doubt he's encouraging this riot. I only hope he'll get the treatment he deserves."
