Five minutes elapsed before Wilson could get his principal's mind on the right track. Then the boys were awakened and the roll called. Byron and Molesworth were reported absent. No one had seen them go; no one had the least suspicion of how they got out of the house.

When one gets the trick of the legal jargon, it's not easy to draw the simplest form of agreement without a few superfluous words. I may as well call in my clerk to witness our signatures, I suppose." "Call in any one you like." The clerk was summoned from a sunless and airless den at the back of his principal's office.

As we walk up the central drive we notice that the Institution is a substantial stone building, the bareness of the walk relieved by a pretty trellis-work, up which hops and other creeping plants are climbing; to our right is a cottage-wing, which is the principal's residence, and to our left the entrance hall, with an ornamental belfry over it; a little further to our left is another small stone building the dairy.

Tinkler, unless you have quite finished." Mr. Tinkler preferred leaving his breakfast to continuing it under the trying ordeal of his principal's inspection. So, hastily murmuring that he had "made an excellent breakfast" which he had not he followed the others, who clattered upstairs to put on their boots and go out into the playground.

Well, I don't want to associate with you because you are all too mean to bother with! There now!" And the excited Jennie came down the steps, strode across the hall and entered the anteroom of the principal's office, closing the door with a bang. It was seldom that Madame Schakael seemed so stern as on this occasion.

"It will save her trouble with her clerical friends if she only knows too late for a protest." Jock understood when he saw the stipulations against religious teaching, and recognised in the Principal's name an essayist whose negations of faith had made some stir. However, he only said, "It will be rather a blow." "There are limits to all things," replied Bobus.

By this time there was a stern look on the principal's white face. During the next few minutes after that only two or three came in, for Dick had thought of a new aspect to the joke. He had sent messengers scurrying out through the street approaches with this message: "We're not required to be in the assembly room until eight o'clock.

It was but one of many unfortunate disagreements in which each side contended for what they believed to be just. The Principal's account for repairs to the property was in the end paid and in November, 1839, he vacated Burnside House. But the controversy between the two bodies did not then end.

The Principal's dream had at last been realised. But Dr. Dawson had hope of a still greater development of women's education. He said: "This great work is not yet complete. We look forward to a College for women, either a College of the University co-ordinate with McGill College, or affiliated to the University.

He had no wish to be his principal's cat's-paw, or to be identified with an enterprise in which, deprived of both will and voice, he should get neither profit nor credit. So he said: "No, I thank you; I have all I can do to take care of your goods, and I am not ambitious." "There'll be nothing for you to do, you know. I shall run the whole thing." "I can serve you better, General, where I am."
