She had, too, a quite irritating trick of remaining, to all outward seeming, stolidly unmoved by events which were causing an otherwise general commotion; but in cases of danger or emergency she was essentially swift to act as on one occasion, for instance, when the Hamilton House twins were at Fraylingay.
He thought perhaps it might be that the boy was unusually dull and so he asked: "Are you still going to school?" A negative shake of the head was the only reply. "Why not?
