"quiet." he wheeled on them. "you, sweeny. come out here." he reached inside the breast of his soutane and with a flourish produced a thin yellow cane, whipping it back and forth, testing it.

kevin went back to his place resisting a desire to hug his hands under his armpits and stumbled on a schoolbag jutting into the aisle as he pushed into his desk. again waldo looked round the class and said, "now we’ll have it right from someone."
