“Who?”

“Greenfield senior,” said Loman, flushing quickly as he said the name.

“And what made you suspect Greenfield senior?”

“All the boys suspected him.”

“That is not an answer, Loman. Why?”

“Because, for one thing,” said Loman, sullenly, “he was seen coming out of your study that evening.”

“And why else?”

“Because he came out so high in the exam.”

“And for these reasons you suspected Greenfield of taking the paper? Why did you not mention the matter to me?”

Loman did his best to look virtuous.
