It sounded like "Help!" but Mr.S--- did not hear.

He certainly no notice of it.
As the MacS--- and Mr.S--- sat quite silent, neither looking at us, and as father was sitting on the other side of the room with his chin in his hand, and as I wanted to show that I was indifferent to the two S's, I took out this notebook, and went on with the Record, bringing it up to this moment.
THE RECORD--_Continued_.
When I had finished writing I looked over at Rupert.
When he saw us, he jumped up and went over to father and shook his hand quite warmly.

Father took him very coolly.

Rupert, however, did not seem to see it, but came towards me heartily.

I happened to be doing something else at the moment, and at first I did not see his hand; but just as I was looking at it the clock struck eleven.
