"Frank Hardy, are you paying attention?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied Frank, now wide awake. In his dream he imagined Julius Cæsar had turned on him and had poked him in the ribs with a spear.
"Do you know who we were talking about?"
"Oh, yes, ma'am."
"Do you know anything about his death?"
"Yes, ma'am," said Frank, under the impression that the lesson still dealt with Cæsar.
"How did he die?"
"He was stabbed."
"He was stabbed, was he? Where?"
"In—in the Forum. He was murdered by some of the senators, led by Cassius and Brutus, and Marc Antony made a speech."
