The whole school assem- bled in " Speecher ; " a sort of irregular bill called ; the announcement from the head master that "it is our custom to receive the governors standing, and in perfect silence. " Then the Head of the School, arrayed in evening dress, goes to summon the governors from the room where they are kept, and, after they have entered and are seated, he begins his Latin speech. It is a beautiful sight to see the faces of those among the governors and masters who care to follow the... discourse in the book, how their countenances light up at a joke or a happy allusion ! Then to watch the Sixth form, who, for the most part, listen with a dignified grace, as if they took it all in as easily as English. Then, when the " Contio " is over, come the long-suppressed cheers, and the hand-shaking among the governors and masters. In a few days, after the rehearsals of the actual " Speeches " before the townspeople and the school, comes the great day itself. Kussell was up early that day seeing to his room, the decorations of which have been described in the last chapter.
