"What, what, boy!" cried the Heer Governor, "art crazy then, or would you seek to make sport of me, your governor? Thanksgiving for the breaking up of school! Out on you for a set of malapert young knaves! Do you think the world goeth but for your pleasures alone? Why, this is ribald talk!
Dawson, with hanging head, came into the passage and went to her old room. "What in the name o' goodness do you reckon she's goin' to do?" gasped Mrs. Slogan, quite pale and cold.
