This Monday ordeal was a permanent shadow, for the boys who lived for the greater part in complete uncertainty, never knowing whether they had or not committed some terrible crime; for some of the worst crimes were unexpected, such as spoken or implied criticism of the food, to speak to another boy if you met him outside the school during school hours, to have missed getting the message telling you to stop talking in meals, to turn on the electric light, to eat any food , even a grape, if brought by your parents. And it was a curious fact that the boys was sometimes quite unaware until Monday that he had committed any offense.
