Everyone was told to get in single file and make ready to pass out the door , one after one we were searched ; but so general was the curiosity that as fast as they were inspected the erstwhile bed-enthusiasts , myself included , gathered on the side-lines to watch their fellows instead of availing themselves of the opportunity to go upstairs . One after one we came opposite The Fencer , held up our arms , had our pockets run through and our clothing felt over from head to heel , and were exonerated .
