Matthew Hobbs was sixteen years old. He had been at the same school for five years, and he had (26)always been a very bad pupil. He was lazy, he fought with other pupils, he was rude to the teachers and he did not obey the rules of the school. His headmaster tried to make him work and behave better, but he was never successful—and the worst thing was that, as Matthew grew older, he hall a bad influence on the younger boys.
