Dangle’s letter was less ingenuous.
“The secretary of the Fellsgarth clubs has been requested to ask Rollitt the following questions in reference to a sum of about £4 10 shillings missing from the funds in the treasurer’s hands.
“1. Is it true that Rollitt was seen at the door of Fisher major’s room on Saturday afternoon, September 21, at a time when everybody else was absent from the house?
“2. Is it true that immediately afterwards Rollitt paid five pounds for a new boat for Widow Wisdom?
“3. Where did that money come from?
“4. Does Rollitt know that he is suspected by every boy in Fellsgarth of having stolen it; and that now that the clubs are dissolved the treasurer will be called upon to refund the money?
“5. What is Rollitt going to do? Does he deny it? If not, will he take the consequences?
“Signed for the Club Committee,—
