“Yes, sir. I’ve had ten.”
“Been put on the ‘limits’?”
“Yes, sir,” answered Dan, his face flushing scarlet.
“Do you mind telling me what for? Please do not think I am too inquisitive, but I should like to know the reasons.”
“Mr. Sharp said I was scuffling in the hall. That is against the rules, you know.”
“Yes, I know. If there is a rule against scuffling why did you break it?”
“I didn’t intend to break it, but I suppose I did,” said Dan lamely.
“Why?” persisted Mr. Borden.
