Come!"
There was not a sound. Mr. Minturn nodded to the tutor. Together they
ascended the stairs. They found the boys hidden in a wardrobe. Mr. Minturn
opened the door, gravely looking at them.
"Boys," he said, "you're going to live with me after this, so you're to
come when I call you. You're going to eat the food that makes _men_ of
boys, where I can see what you get. You are going to do what I believe
best for you, until you are so educated that you are capable of thinking
for yourselves. Now what you must do, is to come downstairs and take your
places at the table. If you don't feel hungry, you needn't eat; but I
would advise you to make a good meal. I intend to send you to the country
in the car. You'll soon want food. With me you will not be allowed to
lunch at any hour, in cafes and restaurants. If you don't eat your
breakfast you will get nothing until noon. It is up to you. Come on!"
Neither boy moved. Mr. Minturn smiled at them.
"The sooner you quit this, the sooner all of us will be comfortable," he
said casually.
