"You have indeed, my dear," said the housekeeper reproachfully. "But oh, what a pity it is that young gentlemen will so far forget themselves! It grieves me; it does indeed." "But I don't forget myself," protested Glyn. "I was obliged to fight. You wouldn't have had me lie down and let him knock both of us about for nothing, would you, nurse I mean Mrs Hamton?"
"Young gentlemen, you will resume your studies at once. Mr Rampson, will you see that these two injured lads go to their dormitory directly. Mrs Hamton will attend to their injuries and report to me whether it is necessary for the surgeon to be called in. You hear me, boys?" shouted the Doctor. "Disperse at once. There will be a lecture in the theatre in ten minutes' time.
When Singh appeared at the door Glyn sat up so suddenly that he nearly knocked over the basin that Mrs Hamton had given him to hold, after spreading the soft towel in his lap, when she began sponging his face with the preparation. "Oh, my dear child," she cried, "pray, be careful!" "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed the boy merrily. "Oh, do look at him, Mrs Hamton. What a guy!" "Guy!" cried Singh sharply.
If it isn't bathed with my lotion it will go on swelling, and be more discoloured still." "Oh!" cried the boy eagerly. "Here, you, Glyn, get up out of that chair. It's my turn now, as Mrs Hamton says," and he took another glimpse at the glass. "There, I'm ready. Oh, I say, I do look a wretch!"
"Oh, it's because it's so nice, Mrs Hamton," said Glyn, who spoke as if he were in the height of glee. "I don't believe you mean that, my dear; but there, lie back in the chair again, and let me go on dabbing all your poor cuts and bruises with this lotion and water. It's so cooling and healing, and it will take all the inflammation out.
"Why, you forget we are in the infirmary still, and Mrs Hamton won't let us go without our breakfast. But come along; let's trot back round by the shortest way." They started the military double directly, and were about half-way back to the school when, as they turned a corner to get into the main road, a sharp military voice shouted: "Halt! Right face!" "Father!" cried Glyn.
"But, I say, look here, Mrs Hamton," cried Glyn, catching the hand which was bearing the sponge and holding it to his cheek, to the old lady's intense satisfaction, though somehow there came an unwonted look of moisture in her eyes. "What were you going to say, my dear? But, dear, dear, what a pity it is that you should go and disfigure yourselves like this!

"Now then, it seems that the time when the belt was lost cannot be exactly pointed out, since it may have been taken at one of the times when Mr Singh's travelling-case was left unlocked." "Oh, sir, but nobody ever goes up into his room except the maids and Mrs Hamton and me; and, bless your heart, sir, the Doctor will tell you that he wouldn't doubt any of us to save his life."
"Begging your pardon, sir, no, sir. It wasn't to see the Doctor, sir. It was on the day when everybody was out, gone to the Strongley cricket-match, and there was nobody at home but the maids and me, for Mrs Hamton our housekeeper, sir, had leave from the Doctor to go and see a friend who was ill." "Well," said the Colonel sharply, "what is it, Glyn?" For the boy had jumped up excitedly.
