Bob Held His Breath, for It Was a Startling Sight
Miss Williams waited a moment or two for some one to speak. Then she asked:
“Has any one of the scholars been in the storeroom this morning?”
“Yes, Bob Bouncer,” said a quick voice.
Bob knew that it was Jed Burr who had spoken. He flushed a little, and rose to his feet.
“I was in the storeroom, but it was only for a second, Miss Williams,” he said.
“Then you broke the bottle of ink?”
“No, ma’am, I didn’t,” said Bob.
