I 've sown the seed at any rate , and we must wait for developments . '' Apparently Garnet 's proposition proved acceptable to the Sixth , for the very next day a notice was pinned on the board in the hall : `` There will be a General Meeting of the School on Tuesday , October 4th , at 3 p.m. , for the purpose of electing a Games Captain . `` The meeting will be followed by a Symposium , when a collection will be taken , the proceeds of which will be devoted to the purchase of a form trophy . `` Performers kindly submit their names without delay to M. HOWELL , as the program is being made up . '' Garnet was one of the first to read the notice , and she started off at once to the Sixth Form room .
