"Can't have a lot of hooligans attacking a good-looking girl like that whatever nonsense she talks!" murmured the Captain, twisting his sandy moustache; "so I thought I'd better come along and see fair play. Of course I knew you'd be there." The train was crowded.

'The holy hall of study! gasped the Rabbi. 'Given over to unlawful meetings! 'The hooligans will meet there, if you don't, said David grimly. 'Don't you see it is the safest place for us? The police associate it only with learned weaklings. 'Hush, Haman! said the timber-merchant, and rose to go.

So a Twenty-second Century high school was a place where a teacher carried a pistol and a tear-gas projector and a sleep-gas gun, and had a bodyguard, and still walked in danger of his life from armed 'teen-age hooligans. It was meaningless to ask whose fault it was.
