I suppose that if the trustees say he's a thief they can send him away, no matter what.

But the trustees don't have any meeting till next Wednesday.

Maybe you'll be willing to tell me how I can go and register Skinny for that week of mine, because I don't know how to do it.

If they want to say he's a thief let them go ahead and do it, but anyway, I should worry, they can't do it before next Wednesday and his week will be up then.

And that will give me a chance to prove he didn't do it." Mr.Ellsworth smiled, kind of, and shook his head, then he just sat looking at me.
