`` I tell you , Miss Maxwell , the plums are mine . But I am tired of fighting over them and I had decided before this that I 'd let her have them after this . It 's only a trifle , anyhow . And about that little matter we were discussing the other night , Miss Maxwell . I have been thinking it over , and I admit I was somewhat unreasonable . I 'll talk to Alfred and Robert and see what I can do . '' `` Very well , '' said Esther quietly . `` The matter of the plums is n't my business and I do n't wish to be involved in your family feuds , especially as you say that you mean to allow Mrs. Charley to enjoy her own in future . As for the school , we will hope that matters will improve . '' `` You 'll leave the proof with me , wo n't you ? '' said Mr. Cropper eagerly . `` Oh , certainly , '' said Esther , smiling . `` I have the negative still , you know . '' From that time out the Cropper boys were models of good behaviour and the other turbulent spirits , having lost their leaders , were soon quelled . Complaint died away , and at the end of the term Esther was re-engaged . `` You seem to have won old Cropper over to your side entirely , '' Mr. Baxter told her that night . `` He said at the meeting today that you were the best teacher we had ever had and moved to raise your salary . I never knew Isaac Cropper to change his opinions so handsomely . '' Esther smiled .
