Irving resolved that hereafter he would not be afraid of any multitude of boys . But he refrained from making his presence known in the dormitory that afternoon . At half past five o'clock he went downstairs to the rooms of Mr. Randolph , who had charge of the Upper School .

All three congratulated him on his good fortune in obtaining the Sixth Form dormitory .
