With malicious joy, he looked forward to the scolding Mr.Stone was to get from his mother.
"He won't dare to talk to her," he said to himself.

"I hope she'll make him apologize to me.

He ought to do it before the school." Evidently Godfrey had a very inadequate idea of the teacher's pluck, if he thought such a thing possible.
School was dismissed, and Godfrey went home.

He dropped a hint to Ben Travers, that his mother was going "to haul Mr.Stone over the coals," as he expressed it.
"Are you going to be there ?" asked Ben, when Godfrey had finished.
"Yes," said Godfrey.

"It'll be my turn then." "Perhaps Mr.Stone will have something to say," said Ben, doubtfully.
"He won't dare to," said Godfrey, confidently.
