"This is a democratic place," she said in a more sympathetic tone, "every girl finds her own level sooner or later. The basis is not money or social rank of the families at home. It is not brains or clothes or stuff like that. It is simply that the same kind of girls drift together.
And the office boy, slowly pulling off one damp, well-made boot and then the other over the gouty toes, was the only person who noticed that "the governor" was awfully down in the mouth. But no one knew that in Mr. Murray Junior's pocket was a letter from a great specialist, who had seen Mr. Murray Junior's wife the day before, and what that letter said has nothing to do with this story.
Six hours later Connel sat in his quarters puzzling over one of the many minor problems of Junior's Pitch when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned. Astro, Tom, Roger, Alfie, and Shinny walked silently into the room. Connel stared. "Wha what is it?" he demanded. "We're finished, sir," said Tom simply. "Finished?" exploded Connel.

That's only a suggestion on my part, as I told you, and you can do as you please about it."
Coates, the monitor, probably had no friend he didn't deserve to have one or he wouldn't have been down on Parson for a thing like that. Bother Warton! bother the doctor! bother Caesar! what did they all want to conspire together for against a wretched junior's peace?
"But the stick, Mary, and the marks of blood on Peter Junior's hat. I'm afraid afraid." "But they were always fond of each other. They have been like brothers." "And quarrels between brothers are often the bitterest." "But we have never heard of their quarreling, and they were so glad to see each other Saturday. And you know Peter Junior was always possessed to do whatever Richard planned.
