John the circumstances d said he would
get him one next time. John got mad, said
he need never buy him one, and that he
would never wear one as lorg as his father
lived. Going to his room, John remained
fourteen years without a coat, and no one
ever saw him out Of that room. His meals
were sent to him, and ne sat there and read
and thought.
