The next instant he saw him straining against his bonds.,“Now, Mosey, you like the new teacher’s well’s I do, else why were you showin’ off before her, ridin’ Ladybird like mad.”,she quoted glibly. “I know a lot more of it. Do you?”,Acting on this timely suggestion, Mrs. Wopp deposited the mischievous youths on small chairs, one on each side of her table, directly under her watchful eye. Cracking nuts seemed to have been the special proposed form of amusement for the afternoon. By the end of five minutes the substitute teacher had set several large noisy paper bags on the window ledge.，It was a fine summer evening. The whole Wopp family was getting ready to go to a dance, to be held at a ranch some ten miles off.
