Excerpt from Brooks's Readers: Fifth Year
Yet Mr. Toil had a severe and ugly face for all little boys or big men who liked to, be idle. His voice, too, was harsh; and all his ways seemed very disagreeable to our friend Daffydowndilly.
The whole day long, this terrible old schoolmaster sat at his desk overlooking the scholars, or stalked about the schoolroom with a birch rod in his hand.
