"When you go back, George," said the principal to the boy, as he gave him what the teacher had sent for, "go to Miss Hegan's class, and have her send Danny Rugg to me. Flossie and Freddie say he told them to spray water with one of the new faucets." "Yes, sir, he did!" exclaimed George. "I heard him, but I didn't think they would do it. He did tell them." At this unexpected information Mr.
But I am not going to tire you with an account of what went on in the classrooms. There were mostly lessons there, such as you have yourselves, and I know you don't care to read about them. Bert did not see Danny Rugg at the noon recess, when the Bobbsey twins and the other children went home for lunch.
"The Bobbsey Twins" is the name of the first book of this series, and in it you may read of the fun Bert and Nan and Flossie and Freddie had together, playing with Charley Mason, Danny Rugg, Nellie Parks and other children of the neighborhood. Sometimes the children had little quarrels, as all boys and girls do, and, once in a while, Bert and Nan would be "mad at" Charley Mason or Danny Rugg.
Danny Rugg did not come to school, nor did he show himself until an hour after school was out. Bert had gone home and brought forth his sled, and he and Nan were giving Freddie and Flossie a ride around the block when Danny hailed Bert. "Come here, I want to talk to you," he said, from across the street. "What do you want?" asked Bert roughly. "I've got something to tell you.
All the little ones liked this, and the dispute of Flossie and Freddie was soon forgotten.

"Fought!" exclaimed the teacher.
All at once Dummy Rugg uttered a peculiar snort, and started up in a sitting position, with the thought still fresh in his brain that he must rouse up Mark from his nap. But all was dark, and there was the gurgling rush of the water below. "Why, I've been asleep," muttered the lad excitedly. "Think o' me doing that!"
Laugh at him, boys," cried the same hoarse voice: and another derisive yell arose. "Out with you, my lads," cried Sir Edward; and his men sprang over the wall again. "You too, Mark," said Sir Edward; and Mark followed, while Dan Rugg came close up with his bag of powder and fuse carefully tied in. "Lay it as near as you can, so as to be out of reach of the pikes."
He had told Mr Rugg that he knew what lawyers and agents were, and that he would not submit to imposition. On that gentleman's humbly representing that he exerted himself to the utmost, Miss Fanny was very short with him; desiring to know what less he could do, when he had been told a dozen times that money was no object, and expressing her suspicion that he forgot whom he talked to.
Upon that, Mr Rugg fell to work; and Arthur, retaining no property to himself but his clothes and books, and a little loose money, placed his small private banker's-account with the papers of the business. The disclosure was made, and the storm raged fearfully.
She durst not go to her mother's room, where ready means of heating food were always to be found. As she brought the jug to the door, Felix came in with Mr. Rugg, who, living in a street out of sight, and having ears for no sound but his own night-bell, had been ready at once to obey the call. Felix told his sister the little he knew. 'It was a terrible sight.
