"Do you mean to say that you didn't know that my bed was out?"
"Yes, Callahan, I meant to say that I did not know your bed was taken out. Perhaps you are mistaken, it may not be out."
"O, yes, it is out; I saw the naked bars."
"Come, Callahan, go along like a good woman! Go to your room first, and see, before you ask why it is done."
She went into her room. The other women were in theirs. I called,—
"Second Division!"
All of the rest shut their doors.
"Shut your door, Callahan!" I called pleasantly.
"No, ma'am, I will not. I don't mean anything against you; but I will not shut my door, nor sleep on the bars. Do you know who reported me, and what my bed is taken out for?"
"No, I do not."
