A girl sauntered past them as they loitered before their lockers. "We didn't have one till this winter," she said cheerfully. "So I guess we appreciate him for all he's worth." "Ho! ho!" murmured Maurice, rather taken back. "So the art of devil-raising is not a lost one after all. Dido can still call spirits from the vasty deep.".
