'' The Recruiting Meeting was held in the Council Schoolroom , on Saturday evening , at 7 o'clock . -LSB- Public meetings in Polpier are invariably fixed for Saturday , that being the one week-night when the boats keep home . -RSB- Schoolmaster Rounsell and his daughter -LRB- back from her holiday -RRB- had decorated the room , declining outside assistance . It was a rule of life with Schoolmaster Rounsell and his daughter to be very stiff against all outside assistance .
