Mr. and Mrs. Wackernagel and their daughters leaned back in their chairs and gave themselves up to prolonged and exuberant laughter , in which the teacher obligingly joined as well as he was able . When this hilarity had subsided , Mr. Wackernagel turned to Mr. Fairchilds with a question . `` Are you mebbe feelin ' oneasy , Teacher , about meetin ' the school directors to-night ? You know they meet here in the HOtel parlor at seven o'clock to take a look at you ; and if you suit , then you and them signs the agreement . '' `` And if I do n't suit ? '' `` They 'll turn you down and send you back home ! '' promptly answered the doctor .
