 their way back to the Hall. Soon the dinner bell announced the 

 fact that all was ready, and the company, augmented by several 

 late arrivals, sat down to a dinner of a most recherche description, 

 presided over by Captain Norman, E.N., in the absence of Sir 

 William Crossman, the President.
