This was our consolation , and the sentiment of the school . Fancy , then , our amazement to behold him laying the cane on Heriot 's shoulders as fiercely as he could , and Boddy seconding him . The scene was terrible . We were all at our desks doing evening tasks for the morrow , a great matchday at cricket , Boddy watching over us , and bellowing , ` Silence at your work , you lazy fellows , if you want lessons to be finished at ten in the morning ! ' A noise came growing up to us from below , up the stairs from the wet-weather shed , and Heriot burst into the room , old Rippenger after him , panting . ` Mr. Boddy , you were right , ' he cried , ` I find him a prowler , breaking all rules of discipline . A perverted , impudent rascal !
