Then, too, he didn't see how twenty fellows were going to wash at six bowls.
Tom, however, promptly demonstrated how one fellow could do it by returning to Number 12 and bringing back his wash-cloth.
In his absence Steve had been experimenting with the liquid soap apparatus with which each bowl was supplied, and by the time Tom got back was able to tell him why he didn't approve of them!

Two or three boys were standing on the steps of Wendell when they reached it and they were aware of their frankly curious gaze as they passed them.
