[Eric by Frederic William Farrar]@TWC D-Link bookEric CHAPTER VII 14/14
So, next morning, they all four got up quite as if nothing had happened, and made no allusion to the preceding night, although, they could not help chuckling inwardly a little when the Gordonites came to morning school, brimful of a story about their house having been attacked in the night by thieves, who, after bagging some pigeons, had been chevied by Gordon and the servants.
Wildney professed immense interest in the incident, and asked many questions, which showed that there was not a shadow of suspicion in any one's mind as to the real culprits. Carter, the school servant, didn't seem to have noticed that the lavatory door was unlocked, and Mr.Harley never alluded again to his disturbance in the night.
So the theft of the pigeons remained undiscovered, and remains so till this day.
If any old Roslyn boy reads this veracious history, he will doubtless be astounded to hear that the burglars on that memorable night were Brio, Pietrie, Graham, and Wildney..
