"That sounds good."
"O, but say, it's the real thing."
"That's Father Boone's handwriting. What does it mean?"

Finally, it settled down to what had happened, and when it happened, and how it happened. Everybody asked everybody else what it was all about, and everybody told everybody he did not know. Some boys got around Frank and began to quiz him.
"Did you see any damage done, Mulvy?"
"No."
"Let's form a committee and send our regrets to Father Boone, and also say there must be a mistake."
They all agreed.
