Next thing we knew good while after, y' understand, but first thing we knew, here to the village the son was dead, too; Mahlon his name was, and had been weakly all his days. Deacon Scraper went out agin, and kinder scraped round, folks reckoned, 'peared to make of the young widder, and meeched up to her, and all. Wal! And here this last year, if she doesn't up and die!
Without lifting his head, Frank muttered, "I meeched, too," in tones audible only to his questioner. So pleased was Mr. Garrison with Bert's honesty, that he would have been glad to let him off with a reprimand; but the interests of good discipline demanded sterner measures. Accordingly, he called to one of his monitors: "Munro, will you please go over to the Acadian School and get the strap?"
Have you any excuse?" With a quick, decided movement, Bert lifted his head, and looking straight into Mr. Garrison's face with his big brown eyes, said, clearly: "No, sir. I meeched." Quite taken aback by this frank confession, Mr. Garrison paused a moment, and then, turning to Frank, asked: "And how about you, sir?"
