Mary gasped¹ and said in a huff, "Why, Mr. Baldwin! That is an inappropriate question and my parents are going to hear of it when I get home!"

 

She sat down, red-faced.

 

"Susan, can you tell me the answer?" asked Mr. Baldwin.

 

"The pupil of the eye, under dark conditions," said Susan.

 

"Correct. Now Mary, I have three things to say to you. First, you have not studied your lesson. Second, you have a dirty mind. And third, boy are you going to be disappointed² someday!"
