Here it is.
Father raged for three days and we got out of his way like scared rabbits.

I saw I had to teach, so I said I would, but I had not told Robert, because I couldn't bear to.

Then up came Hiram and offered to take the school for me.

Father said no, I couldn't get out of it that way.

Hiram said I had not seen him or sent him any word, and I could prove by mother I hadn't been away from the house, so Father believed him.
