He looked up at his big, stalwart uncle who was reading about him, Johnny Blossom! Johnny Blossom could think of nothing more to write about, though he stared long and hard at the walls. His examination report? No, he would not write about that, for there were some 9’s for conduct and some marks for lessons that were not as high as one might wish. No, there was not an atom more to write. So the letter was signed: “Whatever I am, we haven’t got time to gas about it now. I came to—” Once again on the piazza Jerry said, “What is it?”.
