A long range of windows glittered in the yellow light, and Phil said that the lower row all belonged to the school-room; that whole row.

Clarkson then carried me into the school-room, and calling for Bentley, gave me to him, telling him, loud enough for Hawkins to hear him, that Hawkins would get much more by doing wrong, than he would by doing right, for he should get a very hearty flogging that afternoon.
