Chapter VI
PHIL SHOWS HIS STUBBORNNESS Not one of the boys knew how to act or what to say. All wondered if Job Haskers had heard his name mentioned. If the ill-natured instructor had heard, he made no mention of it. He looked sharply about the apartment and waved his hand to Luke. "Watson, how many times have I told you that you make too much noise with your musical instruments?" he said, harshly.
