One morning a telegraph messenger from Cedarville was seen approaching the Hall, just as the boys were forming for the roll-call. "Here's a telegram for somebody," said Sam. "I hope it's not bad news."
At every backward and forward swing the hideous links emitted a strident sound, which resembled a cry of rage; the little girls were in ecstasies; the setting sun mingled in this joy, and nothing could be more charming than this caprice of chance which had made of a chain of Titans the swing of cherubim.
