As he expected , he did not do quite as well with it . But he felt sure of being right in his answers to six out of the ten questions , and very hopeful about two others , so that altogether he was well satisfied .

All this took until after one o'clock , and when he laid down his pen with his task finished , he felt pretty tired , and anxious to get out and stretch himself . Frank , however , was not quite through , so he waited for him , and then the friends hurried off to compare notes , and estimate their chances . The results would not be declared for two days at least , and Bert found it very hard to keep his impatience in check . He could think of nothing else than those examinations .
