The matter was reported to the Faculty and the musician sent for.

Instead of submitting himself, however, he maintained very sturdily that the visit of the official to his room was an outrage which he ought not be asked to endure.

He made quite an oration to the Faculty.
Thereupon he was sentenced, more for his contumacy than for the original offence, to suspension from the college for two or three months.

The class were very indignant and determined to manifest their indignation in a way that should be understood.
They got a chariot with six white horses which drove up to his door in Holworthy at midday.

Nearly the whole college assembled to see him off.
