Excerpt from Fairview Boys at Camp Mystery or the Old Hermit and His Secret "There's Jed Burr!" "Coming back to school; eh? Then he can't be suspended any more." "No, he isn't. But I wish he was. There's sure to be a lot of trouble now, and I was thinking how much more fun we could have with him away." Three boys stood talking together in the school yard, where many children were waiting for the final bell to ring to call them to their studies. The three boys were looking at a larger lad, who was walking slowly along the gravel path. "He looks to be the same bully as ever," said Bob Bouncer, one of the three boys. "I guess he is, too," added Frank Haven. "Being suspended can't have changed him much." "Well, if he tries any of his mean tricks on me," spoke Sammy Brown, "I know what I'll do!" "What?" asked Frank, as he turned about to face the larger lad, so as to be ready, in case of any sudden attack, of the kind for which Jed Burr had a reputation. "What'll you do, Sammy?" "I'll have him arrested! I'm not going to stand for any more of his games!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
