But now his mind was too full of a single sensation, and when, after crossing a green playground, they stood by the head-master's door, his heart fluttered, and it required all his energy to keep down the nervous trembling which shook him. Mr. Williams gave his card, and they were shown into Dr. Rowlands' study.
The senior boy had gone to the head-master's for the keys as usual, and now came down the cloisters, clanking them in his hand. "Has Charles Channing turned up?" he called out, before he was well abreast of them. Pierce senior choked away his inclination to laughter, which the sound of the name excited, and saucy Bywater answered. "Where should he turn up from, Huntley? Has he been swallowed?"
But he quoted the lines with fluent confidence. It was by turning them into Greek Iambics that he had won the head-master's prize. "That's it," said Priscilla. "And that's more or less what has happened to us. We went out to chase a simple, ordinary German spy and we have come on two other mysteries of the most repulsively fascinating kind.
"The difference is that you are not going to sacrifice Prosper." The three were to lie that night at the George Inn, where they had stabled their horses; and at the door of the Head-master's house, where we Commoners lodged, they took leave of me, my father commending me to God and good dreams. That they were happy ones I need not tell.
She and Adelheid Barop, the head-master's daughter, were taught in our classes, but Marie attracted me more strongly than the diligent Keilhau lassies with their beautiful black eyes and the other two blooming and graceful Westphalian girls who were also schoolmates.

"Yes, sir," replied Buller, retiring with a feeling of relief; he was to get off with a flogging after all, and he did not imagine that castigation at the hands of the doctor would be particularly severe. For the head-master's class-room contained a cupboard, rarely opened, and in that cupboard there were rods, never used at Weston for educational purposes.

And the doctor arranged his hair before the looking glass into the most professional stiffness, as a preparatory step to facing Mr. Blenkinsopp's parental inquiries in the head-master's study. 'What!
