This year, however, when Acton went, as usual, to the library to formally ask permission that the celebration should take place, he met with a terrible rebuff. "No, Acton," answered Mr. Welsby; "as long as the school continues to be disgraced by these repeated thefts as, for example, this recent instance of Morris's watch and chain I do not feel inclined to allow the same privileges as before.
I left that place where the star-shine was showing the grim skeleton of the shaft-work overhead in the night, and where men moved about below in the indeterminate dark like dismal gnomes. There was a woman whose cry, when Welsby died, was like a challenge. Next morning, in Great Barr, some blinds were down, the street was empty.
Welsby informed the school that he had been led to reconsider his decision regarding the fifth of November, and that they might have their display as usual. Accordingly, the fireworks were ordered, and arrived soon after breakfast on the morning of the fourth. Miss Eleanor had a dread of gunpowder, and Mr. Blake sent Jack Vance to tell Noaks to carry the box as usual down into the shed.
