was ringing at the very moment over our heads; and as I hate such
encroaching people (the Jacksons are very encroaching, I have always
said so: just the sort of people to get all they can), I said to the boy

to be ashamed of himself), take the boards to your father, Dick,
so get you home again as fast as you can.
