Shortly before Mr. Hartley arrived ...
Bernie had nicked my bag. I retaliated by taking his. A scurmish ensued around the chemistry laboratory that culmininated in Bernie picking up a laboratory stool and throwing it at me, right across the laboratory.
The stool missed me but caught one of the laboratory taps, neatly decapitating the tap. A fountain of water flooded the laboratory within minutes.
Enter Mr Hartley.
The stopcock was found and the situation quickly brought under control.
Bernie's story: I had stolen his bag (true) and he was merely trying to get it back when he leant over the tap and it broke off.
"O Shit" I thought - I could not contradict Bernie's defence ("schoolboy honour") - I was in for it.
Strangely, Mr Hartley chose to regard the matter as an accident and not refer us to the Headmaster. I never knew why but am eternally grateful!
