Promptly as the clock struck nine, Bess sent her guests away, but not before Ted, from the front steps, led off in a rousing: “Rah! Rah! Rah! for the Inquisitive Investigators.” They then departed, chanting at the top of their lungs, as an appropriate serenade:—

In a beautiful pea-green boat.
They took some honey and plenty of money.
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.”
