money ri r i eating and drinking and often run ur al large bills which their friends barent found it hard athard to pay they wanted the new scholar to join jold them and they always contrived by laughing at him or reproaching him to get almost an any y boy they wanted into their meshes meshe the new nent boys were ere afraid not to yield to them this new scholar refused their invitations they called him mean and stingy a charge which always makes boys very vera sore or you are real mean lob vot to go with I 1 I 1 said us they amean mean he answered chereb wh crela the thi meanness in not
