Two students dressed as Lords exited stage left, dragging the body of one Peter Carmichael, and dropping him at the feet of Miss. Hiller who gasped at the sight.

“Is he...” She stammered, barely able to finish her sentence.

“Dead?” David said. “No, he’s just sleeping.”

Miss. Hiller kneeled to check and confirmed that Peter was, indeed, fast asleep. “Well, how in heaven’s name did this happen?” she asked out loud to herself since everyone was busy going on with the play. “Take him over there. David, do you know his lines?”

David nodded. Everything was going according to plan.
