Ten seconds later the front door flew open and out thundered Roger Bigelow Merriman, Gurney Professor of History and exalted Master of Eliot House, brandishing his cane like the bloody brand of Rollo. The little lad turned pale and fled for the river, but Sir Roger, undaunted, steamed after him in hot pursuit, and, reaching out with the crook of his cane, hooked him by the belt of his trousers on the steps of Weeks Memorial Bridge.
