one of the doors, and told a boy to summon all their occupants at once

Doctor will be in to-morrow?"
"Won't you just catch it!" said Barker to Duncan, but intending the
remark for Eric.
"Just like your mean chaff," retorted Duncan. "But I say, Williams," he
continued, laughing, "you _did_ look so funny in the whiskers."
At this juncture they heard all the study-boys running down stairs to
the library, and, lost in conjecture, retired to their different rooms.
"What do you think he'll do to us?" asked Eric.
