You leave it to me, sir." In due course I threw open the door with a triumphant "There!" The door hit the side-wall with a bang that upset the nervous systems of neighbouring boys, who felt a little faint, had hysterics, and recovered. Mr. Cæsar, feeling that the class was a trifle unpunctual in starting, hurriedly entered. Then Pennybet distinguished himself.
"Girl seemed awful anxious to speak to you." Anthony's hopes fell away. "Thank you very much, sir." And as the phone squeaked on the side-wall he knew who was calling. "This is Dot," came an unsteady voice, "I've got to see you." "Dot, I told you I couldn't get down for several days." "I've got to see you to-night. It's important."

This outburst resulted in Miss Euphemia appearing the following week in a silk gown, a Greek fillet and no hoops a costume which Waller faithfully portrayed on the side-wall of the attic the night of her appearance the fillet being reproduced by a strip of brass which the artist had torn from his easel and nailed to the plaster, and the classic curves of her hair by a ripple of brown paint.
As she passed the threshold Elfgiva exclaimed in vexation, for the light of the log fire, whose rudely carved chimney-piece broke the long side-wall, succumbed at the balcony's lower edge to the shadows of the raftered ceiling, and all above was wrapped in soft twilight.
