boys began wondering why they had ever called him cross. Certainly he
seemed quite different now. Perhaps it was the way Bunny had acted, so

have to play ball, and this isn't the first time you have broken my
windows. But it's the first time any of you have had the nerve to stay
here and offer to pay. I like that. And now that you all offer to chip
in and pay for it, it'll not be too hard for any one boy. It's the right
spirit. And I want to say that if you always do that there'll not be
any trouble.
"Not that I want any more windows broken," he added, with a laugh. "But

pane of glass put in and you can take up a collection among yourselves
and pay me later on.
