CHAPTER IX.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

‘‘Midsummer holidays now draw near,
Let your hearts be free from fear ;
Let your hearts be merry and gay,
For to-day is breaking-up day.

Monday, Tuesday, packing-up ;
Wednesday, Thursday, breaking-up ;
Friday, Saturday, going away :
All for the sake of a holiday.

‘*‘ Good-bye, Latin; good-bye, Greek ;
No more of you for many a week.
Books and slates we'll cast away,
For to-day is breaking-up day.
