As Billy leaped in Scroggie raised his guard to his face and Billy's right and left thudded home to the flabby stomach of his adversary.，Billy was giving no attention to the teacher.

Then he turned eagerly towards them.,"Oh, I must say that Willium does do somethin' worth while, once in a long while," returned her neighbor, grudgingly.
