...your pardon for suspecting you," said I, "but you are at fault, as you will admit." He nodded. "To make assurance doubly sure, however, I will go with you to your room below...

They say that in the present state of the building art these things are a mere matter of chance. This being the case, we cannot find fault with the constructors of our recitation-rooms, particularly as they were most of them built long before ventilation was ever heard of.
