Gaunt had discarded his surplice with his schoolboy life ; but curiosity with regard to the seniorship brought him amongst them again that day . `` I hope you 'll keep the place , Channing , '' he whispered to him , as he passed the boys to get to his stall . Arthur Channing was at his place at the organ . Ere eleven o'clock struck , service was over , and the boys marched back again . Not to the schoolroom -- into the chapter-house . The examination , which took place once in three years , was there held . It was conducted quite in a formal manner ; Mr. Galloway , as chapter clerk , being present , to call over the roll .
