The Bell Haven Eleven

Excerpt from The Bell Haven Eleven

Forbes picked up the gavel and hammered vigorously on the wooden desk before him. The buzz of conversation ceased, the laughter died out and the boys, taken by surprise at this unexpected evidence of authority, were almost quiet Forbes' manner, no less than the vigor with which he hammered the desk, proved that while he might be unsophisticated in many ways, he was no dummy. The gavel seemed to be informing the boys that while the Sleeping Beauty might be willing to permit them to impose on his good nature, there was a limit at which he would call a halt.
