The boys were on the upper floor, in an attic dormitory. She herself stood guard on the landing below. The girls shared twin rooms on the second floor. Mrs Brisco demonstrated that all the locks and keys to the rooms worked and made the girls promise to lock their doors, but finally she had had to go downstairs and get some sleep and her guests then came and went as they pleased. Adam departed to Candy’s room for the night. And since Candy was sharing with Sandra, Sandra came up to sleep in Adam’s bed in the men’s attic dormitory where they talked and laughed until after midnight. FitzGerald gallantly attempted to join her but was refused permission. He pretended to be dismayed and complained a little, but it was a narrow bed in a dormitory, and he was not really sorry, and his honour was satisfied. ‘Where’s Rod Orr?’ said Race in the dark. He had suddenly noticed his absence. ‘Rod’s not coming,’ said FitzGerald. ‘I guess he never liked Morgan much,’ said Race. ‘It’s not that,’ said FitzGerald.
