At last Johnny's exclamations settled down in deep sobs, and then Mr Bonnycastle said to him, "Now, Johnny, you perceive that you must do as you are bid, or else you will have more beating.

Get up immediately.

"That's a good boy; now you see, by getting up as you were bid, You have not been beaten.

Now, Johnny, you must go and bring the book from where you threw it down.

Do you hear, sir?
bring it directly!" Johnny looked at Mr Bonnycastle and the cane.
