DOL 13

Dean Dread put one huge, ham-sized hand on the back of each boy and ushered them to the front of the “cafetorium.”  All the other new sixth-graders, of course, tittered at the sight of William and Sam being caught talking.

DOL 14

“Quiet, students,” says Dean Dread in a deadly tone of voice as he placed William Waggish and the mortified Sam Sagacious in the second row next to Jesse Jocose, another talker. When Dean Dread said this, he nodded his head, and teachers lined up in the aisles to quell the noise with proximity control.
