If you had spoken up yesterday, it would not have let Johnny off the hook. Something else would have happened instead, Billy. And I think you know what I mean.” Billy gulped again and looked down guiltily. Seeing his expression, Mrs Wilkins pressed on. “Billy, if you feel badly that Johnny was punished for something you encouraged him to do, I have a solution to that problem … a very simple solution. I think that it would do you a lot of good.” “You think so, Mrs Wilkins?” “Yes, I most certainly do, Johnny. Why don’t we both go downstairs and take care of something which should have been done yesterday. I think it will help clear the air and allow you to feel much better about this.” Billy hung his head like a naughty child, unable to disagree but much too embarrassed to offer any verbal consent.
