CHAPTER XXVIII
DARK DAYS
The Rovers and Stanley Browne were kept in the rooms until Monday morning. During that time their meals were sent to them, and Professor Sharp came to see them twice.
"Doctor Wellington will dispose of your case on Monday," said the instructor.
"I think we should have had a doctor," said Dick. "All of us were sick, and needed medical attention."
"Nonsense!" cried Abner Sharp. "You have sobered up, and that was all that was needed."
This assertion led to a war of words, and Tom came close to whacking the unreasonable teacher over the head with the water pitcher. As a consequence, Abner Sharp ran out of the room in fear and reported to the head of the institution that he had been assaulted.
On Monday morning the four boys were told to go down and report at the president's office.
