"Why has she not come to breakfast?"
"I don't know, Miss Hodge."
"Send one of the Juniors to her room to ask why she is not here."
"Yes, Miss Hodge."
A stolid amiable Junior called Tuttle, who was always having to take the can back, was sent on the mission, and came back to say that Rouse was not in her room; which report Beau bore to the head table.
"Where was Miss Rouse when you saw her last?"
"I can't remember actually seeing her at all, Miss Hodge. We were all over the place this morning doing different things. It wasn't like sitting in class or being in the gym."
"Does anyone," said Henrietta addressing the students as a whole, "know where Miss Rouse is?"
But no one did, apparently.
"Has anyone seen her this morning?"
