It was early morning, the newsies were asleep in the lodging house as Kloppman came in calling for them to wake as he hit Skittery’s leg who shot up ‘I didn’t do it!’ he said mindlessly while Kloppman rolled his eyes at him

Skittery and the rest of the boys eventually woke up as everyone got dressed and walked out all while the other boys headed to where Mr. Wiesel was selling them their papes Skittery stayed back to wait for his partner who took a bit more time to get to the square
