They passed on, and then from the sable-hued cedars bordering the orchard four small figures stole and moved softly away. "I must punish each and every one of you," Mr. Johnston reiterated, picking up the pointer. "I shall begin on the boy who is smiling so defiantly in the back seat, if he will be good enough to step up here." As they reached the open the rain ceased altogether.
