Hilltop School closed its fall term with just ninety-five students;
it opened again two weeks later, on the third of January, with
ninety-six; and thereby hangs this tale. Kenneth Garwood had been
booked for Hilltop in the autumn, but circumstances had interfered
with the family's plans. Instead he journeyed to Moritzville on the
afternoon of the day preceding the commencement of the new term, a
very cold and blustery January afternoon, during much of which he
sat curled tightly into a corner of his seat in the poorly heated
day coach, which was the best the train afforded, and wondered why
the Connecticut Valley was so much colder than Cleveland, Ohio. He
had taken an early train from New York, and all the way to
Moritzville had sought with natural eagerness for sight of his
future schoolmates. But he had been unsuccessful. When Hilltop
returns to school it takes the mid-afternoon express which reaches
Moritzville just in time for dinner, whereas Kenneth reached the
school before it was dark, and at a quarter of five was in
undisputed possession, for the time being, of Number 12, Lower
House.
