He put it on the butter-cask , and on the till , and all were of the same opinion as the waste-paper tub . and one must believe the majority . ` Now I will tell the student ! ' and with these words he crept softly up the stairs to the attic where the student lived . There was a light burning , and the Goblin peeped through the key-hole and saw that he was reading the torn book that he had bought in the shop . But how bright it was !
