"I don't care if Teacher Thomas can recite better than Demosthenes himself," I snapped. "In this school we say Douglas." My crutch emphasized this mandate, but I could not see how it was received, for every scholar's face was hidden from me by a book. "Now, Abraham, six lines." Abraham Lincoln Spiker was two years younger than Ira Snarkle, but he seemed much taller and correspondingly thinner.
"That's the way Teacher Thomas used to say it," retorted Chester, sitting down on the long bench where the Fifth Reader class was posted. "D-o-u-g dug Douglas," I snapped. "'Douglas round him drew his cloak. Now, Ira Snarkle, you may read five lines, beginning with the second stanza." Ira was very tall for his sixteen years.
Chester Holmes had three fingers up and Ira Snarkle was waving both hands, but I went calmly on: "They were telling me how beautifully you recited, and I was trying to instil into the piece a little of your spirit. But now that we have you here, I insist on your showing me and the school just how it is done." Perry frowned fiercely on Lulu Ann Nummler, and the three fingers disappeared.
