After explaining the situation, she added, “Ruth, I could drive him home tomorrow but that seems overly severe and I know how much Johnny is counting on having him here for the next seven weeks. I plan on taking Johnny down to the basement after dinner and teaching him a good lesson. What would you like me to do with Billy?” Billy listened nervously while his mother said something to Johnny’s mother. Though he couldn’t make out the words, he was not encouraged by Mrs. Wilkins’s response. “Yes … I couldn’t agree more with you Ruth, … [long pause] … it’s by far the most effective punishment with boys their age … I’m glad you share my feelings on that … Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they both learn a good lesson tonight … Yes he’s right here … just a minute.” Mrs. Wilkins handed Billy the phone.
