It means that you have broken discipline twice, doesn’t it? Left your work and then rode a bucket, which is against all orders. I’ll have to fire that control operator who let you do it.”,"I do, sir."，"Besides, it may be an exaggeration," suggests Geoffrey "he may not be so bad as they say."，Mr. Keeler looked surprised; so did Billy's class-mates; so did all members of all the classes and the teachers.

She seems tired, poor girl, and mortally glad to have some one take an interest. She says the class rooms are so hot, and the change from living in eighty degrees to sixty-five, like it is in her room, has made her downright sick part of the time.",Billy started. "Oh gosh!
