"These, like the treasure of the Incas, had been lost to view for so long that research in the Archives and again with spades and shovels had failed to reveal them so that new drains were inevitable: but at least the Winter Sport of Sailing in the Trunk Room should no longer be a compulsory activity!"

For the first time ever, the School is visited—on the same day—by the Fire Inspectors, Health Inspectors, and Plumping Inspectors, much to the surprise and dismay of the Headmaster.
