Whenever a holiday approached, they were set to work decorating the halls and classrooms, for no one else in the school could paint a livelier Easter rabbit, a jollier Santa Claus or a spookier Halloween witch than the Soyer boys.

His face is beautiful as a heavenly angel's and when he turns on his smile it would set the heart of a wooden Indian on fire-which would ruin the Indian.
