“With the principal.” A minute or two passed in silence. Then: “Hello,”
said the Chief. “Is this Brimfield Academy? Well, who am I talking to,
please? Mr. Ferner? Fernald?” He looked questioningly at Clint and Clint
nodded his head. “Well, this is the Chief of Police at Wharton. Have you
got two boys at your school named Clinton Thayer and Amory Byrd, Mr.
Fernald? Have, eh? Are they there now?… I see. Well, I guess I’ve got
them here…. No, no, nothing like that. There’s been a robbery here and
the boys seem to think they have a clue to it. I wanted to find out if
they were all right. Yes, they’re right here. Certainly, sir.”
