Simeon took their great-coats from them and hid them separately, on the side, that the shoulder straps and the buttons might not be seen. It must be said, that this stern man, who did not approve of students because of their free-and-easy facetiousness and incomprehensible style in conversation, also did not like when just such boys in uniform appeared in the establishment.
