? ? ? ? Rodney occupied alone the finest room in the school. There was a great contrast between his comfortable quarters and the extremely plain dormitories occupied by less favored pupils.
? ? ? ? In the case of some boys the favoritism of the teacher would have led them to put on airs, and made them unpopular with their school fellows. But Rodney had too noble a nature to be influenced by such considerations. He enjoyed his comfortable room, but treated his school fellows with a frank cordiality that made him a general favorite.
? ? ? ? After David left his room Rodney sat down to prepare a lesson in Cicero, when he was interrupted by the entrance through the half open door of a younger boy.
? ? ? ? "Rodney," he said, "the doctor would like to see you in his office."
? ? ? ? "Very well, Brauner, I will go down at once."
? ? ? ? He put aside his book and went down to the office of Dr. Sampson on the first floor.
