afterward my sister informed me that
she could not succeed in getting anyone
to answer the bell, and requested me to
ring mine and order pitcher Of ice
water for her. I rang and requested
the boy who responded to take apitcher
of ice water to room No. 101. Before
going down stairs, a few minutes later,
/ asked my sister if she had received
the ice water, and was informed that
she had not. / rang again and told the
second boy to take q pitcher of ice
water to room No. 101. | went below

"A hundred and one will throw you
