When Torn Howard was seventeen years old he was as tall as his father, so he began to borrow Mr. Howard’s clothes when he wanted to go out with his friends in the evening. Mr. Howard did not like this, and he always got very angry when he found his son wearing any of his things. One evening when Tom came downstairs to go out, his father stopped him in the hall.
