I trust the girl who has done this thing to tell us now,
gpt
If any girl here knows anything of the matter, though not herself responsible, I wish her to speak out.
human
Breakfast had better go on now, Miss Wrestow; I will deal with this matter later.
gpt
What on earth is the matter? Joey whispered, squeezing hastily into a place by Noreen.
human
Something happened to the Lab--what luck for you stinks people! You won't be able to do any.
gpt
Don't be such a young silly; don't you see this is going to be a horrid plague for us? That old beast has put the Head on to Remove II. B just because he doesn't like me, I believe, and of course we're suspected. You heard what Miss Conyngham said.
human
But who's done what?
gpt
Somebody's got in and smashed some of his hateful old things there; _I_ should think the cat as likely as not; but of course he fastens it on to us. Just like him. As if I'd go and do a silly kid's trick like that!
human
Of course you wouldn't. It's a shame, comforted Joey.
gpt
But of course the Head would never think so. S'pose she just had to ask. When does he think we did it?
human
Last night. He thought we were excited about the play and aiming it at him, and somebody went in and did it after we were supposed to be in bed.
gpt
But he was there himself much later than that, almost shouted Joey.
human
I saw him out of my window.
gpt
Well, he _is_ the limit, then. Let's tell Gabby that.
human
What's this, Joey?
gpt
Joey Graham, where are you? You are to go to Miss Conyngham at once. She told me so before she went.
human
Oh, bother! Just when you were telling us, Noreen broke out.
gpt
Cut along, and do hurry. I shall burst if I don't know the rest before First Lesson.
