AT HALF-PAST TEN A.M. PRECISELY All friends , and strangers , cordially invited . NO RESERVE PRICE . It served its purpose admirably , for by soon after ten o'clock quite a considerable crowd had begun to assemble ; and it was only after a very serious conversation with the Dean that the sale was allowed to proceed . But it proceeded , with the distinct understanding that a college porter be present ; that no riotous behavior should be allowed ; that the sale was a genuine one , and that Mr. Guiseley would call upon the Dean with further explanations before leaving Cambridge . The scene itself was most impressive . Frank , in a structure resembling an auctioneer 's box , erected on the hearth-rug , presided , with extraordinary gravity , hammer in hand , robed in a bachelor 's gown and hood .
