M. Filleul looked him straight in the eyes and said, sharply: "No more jokes! Your name?" "Isidore Beautrelet." "Your occupation?" "Sixth-form pupil at the Lycee Janson-de-Sailly." M. Filleul opened a pair of startled eyes. "What are you talking about? Sixth-form pupil " "At the Lycee Janson, Rue de la Pompe, number " "Oh, look here," exclaimed M. Filleul, "you're trying to take me in!
At one of the most famous public schools, a praepostor, or monitor, or sixth-form boy having authority, heard a pistol-shot in the room above his own. He went up and found a big boy and a little boy. They denied having any pistol. The monitor returned to his studies, again was sure he heard a shot, went up, and found the little boy dead.
"Very well," said Somers; "you have already defied the authority of one monitor, and that is an aggravation of your original offence. I should have been glad to have avoided a scene, but if your common sense doesn't make you bear the punishment coolly, you shall bear it by force. Will you stand out? no? then you shall be made. Fetch him here, some one," he said, turning to the sixth-form.
Every one knew that it was Bliss, and not he, who had rescued the house from attaching to its name another indelible disgrace; and when he heard the monitors and sixth-form talking seriously among themselves of the bad state into which the Noelites had fallen, he felt that the stigma was deserved, and that he, as being the chief cause of the mischief, must wear the brand.
I remember, when I was a little boy at school, going up fawning and smiling in this way to some great hulking bully of a sixth-form boy. So I said in a word, "Your ordinarily handsome face wore a disagreeable expression," &c.
However, the lovers of the science were doomed to disappointment this time. Directly after locking-up, one of the night-fags knocked at Tom's door. "Brown, young Brooke wants you in the sixth-form room." Up went Tom to the summons, and found the magnates sitting at their supper. "Well, Brown," said young Brooke, nodding to him, "how do you feel?"
The sixth-form boys had not yet appeared; so, to fill up the gap, an interesting and time-honoured ceremony was gone through. Each new boy was placed on the table in turn, and made to sing a solo, under the penalty of drinking a large mug of salt and water if he resisted or broke down.
This won't do, you know; a joke can go too far!" "I must say, Monsieur le Juge d'Instruction, that your astonishment surprises me. What is there to prevent my being a sixth-form pupil at the Lycee Janson? My beard, perhaps? Set your mind at ease: my beard is false!"

There are two ways of translating Virgil, the conscientious and the other. He prefers the other. On this particular night, therefore, work was 'off'. Merevale was over at the Great Hall, taking preparation, and the Sixth-Form Merevalians had assembled in Charteris's study to talk about things in general.
