"Please, sir, there are a lot of letters for you."
Chips looked up, frowning as though in an effort to concen- irale.
"Er-thank you, Martin," he said vaguely, took up one of the letters, opened it, drew out a blank sheet of paper, looked at it, opened another.
The boys writhed in the seats, sume stuffed handkerchiefs into their mouths to keep from laughing outright, Chips drew the sheet of paper from the second envelope, looked at one side, turned it over, raised his eyes vaguely towards his class, "First of April, air!" "April Fool, sir" ecried the boys.
Their laughter was beginning to die away at Chips's sirange lack of response to their joke, when a late comer quietly took his seat, and whispered some- thing to the boy in front of him; that boy turned sharply to the next boy and whispered with an angry gesture that silenced, the "April Fool, sir!" in his throat.
