Lucy was lucky, always had been, but in bizarre things. Her sentence had been changed and so she had to serve it in the Meestake Preparatory School instead of going into exile.
The morning after Bonfire Night, Lucy had spoken to Rupert. "I've made my mind up", she told him. She had decided to give herself up and he resolved to accompany her. A trial was set and three old men in black suits and black beaver hats sentenced her to boarding school. The school itself was outside F. Land.
Two days later, Rupert rented a house near the hill, from where he could see the school grounds and, on a good day, Lucy. At the top of the highest tree of the back garden, Rupert raised a flag. Two crossed joints under a steaming cup of tea.
