The Spirit of the School

The Spirit of the School

Well, gargoyle, continued Bert Middleton. Whats the difference? Of course, its easy enough for you to laugh about it; it isnt your funeral; but I guess if youd had all your plans made up only to have them knocked higher than a kite at the last minute But it wasnt his fault, you see. Its dad thats to blame for the whole business. You see, it was this way. The Danas used to live up in Feltonville when I was a kid, and dad and Mr. Dana were second cousins or something, and[2] were sort of partners in a sawmill and one or two things like that. Hansel Dana was about my age, maybe a year younger, and we used to play together sometimes. But his mother used to take him away on visits in the summer, and so we didnt get very chummy. The fact is I never cared much for him. He was sort of namby-pamby, and used to read kids books most all the time. Mr. Dana died when I was about twelve, and Mrs. Dana and Hansel went out to Ohio to live with relatives. Then this summer dad gets a letter from her saying that she wants to send Hansel to a good school in the East, and asking his advice. And nothing would do for dad but that the little beggar must come here to Beechcroft and room with me! Did you ever hear of such luck? And Larry Royle and I had it all fixed to take that dandy big suite in Weeks. Of course that wouldnt do, for dad says Ive got to sort of look after the kid. And as his mother hasnt much money, why, we have to room up here on the top floor of Prince with the grinds and the rest of the queer ones. Look at this hole! Isnt it the limit? One bedroom, about the size of a pill box, dirty wall paper, a[3] rag of a carpet, and a fireplace that I just bet wont do a thing but smoke us out! ......Buy Now (To Read More)
