I didn't know what my brother meant about "giving her a piece of our minds" but I found out soon enough. Duncan and I had made a plan. When I would be in Mrs. Bass's, Duncan would be in Mr. Remora's class. We planned that at a curtain time-before the exact time when I found the note the other day-I would leave Mrs. Bass's class and go to the girl's bathroom and at the same time, Duncan would leave Mr. Remora's class and meet me out side the bathroom. Duncan said that leaving the note in the bathroom under the sink might be a way to deliver the note to someone else.
Duncan and I met outside the girl's bathroom and I went inside. I looked under the sink where I found thenote. Duncan was right. There was another note. I picked it up and ran back outside to meet Duncan again.
"You were right." I said and showed him the note.
"Read it." he said and I opened up the folded note. It read:
The Helpful Student-
Hey, you were supposed to write me back! Oh well, just meet me under the arch during dinner if you can. You can tell me there. See you then!
-Ross M. Houm
P.S.
The World Is Quiet Here
"The world is quiet here?" Duncan said "What the heck's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know." I said "But it was on the other note."
"Oh well, but if we want to find her then this may be our only chance. We have to sneak out at dinner and go to the arch."
"But won't the Baudelaires get suspicious?"
"We'll tell them that…we…forgot to grab our notebooks and that they're in our dorm."
"Okay," I sighed.
