Excerpt from Mostly Boys: Short Stories
It was five minutes after nine on the morning of December 23d, when a small boy, with an expression akin to the pathetic upon his smug features, entered the Second Academic classroom of Marquette College, Milwaukee, and handed his teacher this note:
Mr. Lawton read this communication with a frown. He was impatient of late-comers, as are all earnest teachers. His frown quickly disappeared, however, as a grin at once cheerful and deprecating came upon Gerald's upturned face.
