Here's luck to the exam.!" The city of Dunningham was about thirty miles away from Seaton.

It was a big manufacturing city, with a highly flourishing modern university, which had lately come much to the fore, and had begun to make itself a reputation.

Miss Bishop had decided that the contingent of twelve from the Seaton High School should travel to Dunningham each morning by the early express, under the charge of Miss Lever, who would take them out for lunch, and escort them safely back to Seaton again in the evening.

The little party met at the railway station in quite bright spirits.

It was rather fun, all going to Dunningham together, and having a special compartment engaged for them on the train.
