Quick! I'll bring you some supper." All three left the dormitory, and Sam and Tubbs scurried off in the direction indicated.

As for Dick, he lost no time in reaching the mess hall.
"Sorry, sir," he said to the under-teacher.

"The bell couldn't have rung very loud." "It rang as loud as usual," was the answer, and no more was said, the teacher's head being just then full of other matters.
Glad to get off so easily, Dick lost no time in eating his supper.

While making way with the food he stowed a goodly portion in his pockets, in a couple of spare napkins, and by some silent motions from Tom learned that his brother was doing the same.
Just as the students were finishing the meal, Jasper Grinder came in and walked down the aisles between the tables.

He looked both angry and perplexed.
