On the second floor at the rear were two rooms—a large square room and a hall bedroom beside it.
"You will sleep in the small room to-night, Abel."
"But who has the large room?"
"It is occupied by Gerald."
"That's not fair. Why shouldn't I have it?"
"You shall have it after awhile. Gerald has always occupied it, and he may make a fuss."
"Suppose he does. You ain't afraid of him, are you?"
"What a question! As if I should be afraid of a boy who is wholly under my control."
"I hope you will give me the room to-morrow."
"I will see what can be done."
