ABSTRACT

Fortunately I woke early next morning, for I was now a member of an early-rising family, and anxious to conform to rules. On going to the door I found, to my inexpressible disgust, that I might easily have closed it in the way I had seen the other door closed, by simply pulling out a sliding panel. There was ventilation enough without having the place open to prowling beasts of prey. I also found that if I had turned up the little straw bed I should have had warm woollen sheets to sleep in.
