“Yes, we do,” answered Arnold, frankly. “Especially in fourth and third classes.”
“What’s your class?”
“I’ll be in third next year. Last year was my first. Say, wouldn’t it be great if you could get your father to let you come to Yardley?”
“Yes, it would be dandy,” answered Toby, smiling wryly. “And I can see him doing it! How much does it cost, anyway? Say it slow, will you, so it won’t sound so much?”
“Well, the tuition’s only a hundred——”
“Is that all?” asked Toby carelessly. “Would they take a check for it? Go ahead. What else do you have to pay for?”
“Room and board, of course. That costs from two hundred to three hundred and fifty, according to your room.”
“Well, I’d want a nice room, of course; one with a southern exposure and hard and soft water. How much would I have to pay for storing my automobile?”
“Don’t be an idiot,” laughed Arnold. “That isn’t an awful lot of money, is it?”
“No, indeed! Oh, no! But I suppose there’d be extras, wouldn’t there? Maybe I’d have to tip the principal and the teachers, eh?”
