He resolves to sever himself from a life that could not be happy without Mary. A bottle of rheumatic liniment is the only medium at hand with which to achieve the desired result, and as he is placing the bottle to his lips he is interrupted by sister, Kitty, who seizes his arm and cries for the family to come. The only sympathy he receives from his irate father is the usual command to perform his ordinary routine of chores before going to school. On her way to school with Mary, Kitty reveals to Sykesy and the faithful little Jane, her brother's hopeless love, and this furnishes Patsy's evil genius with new material. On arrival at school, Sykesy writes a love poem expressing Patsy's wild passion for his schoolmistress, and as usual, the innocent victim of circumstances is punished. The school board orders a half holiday in honor of Mary's approaching marriage. In search of relief from his heart pain, Patsy consents to umpire a baseball game, and is nearly torn to pieces by the irate players. Meanwhile, Mary's friends are fitting up and providing Mary's new home and Patsy climbs a tree where he can witness, unobserved, these proceedings and weep over them. He falls, owing to a breaking limb, and dislocates his arm. This, he is compelled to wear in a sling at Mary's wedding and his discomfiture is added to, when he falls headlong into the aisle, tripped up by the watchful Sykesy, and his father, believing that is the result of his own stupidity, sends him home. Patsy's accident and his mother's pleas cause father to consent to providing Patsy with his first pair of long trousers, and his first thought on securing them is to show them to Tilly, who, in spite of Sykesy's attachment, he has decided to bestow what is left of his shattered heart. He hurries to Tilly, who is at the Sykesy home, and taking her to a quiet corner oi the garden and while he is asking her to try and mend his broken heart, the jealous Sykesy ruins his new suit of clothes by throwing a bucket of bran mash over them, and he is compelled to go to school in his old ones. Devising a revenge on Sykesy, he goes to a drug store and purchases a bottle of nitric acid. While seated behind his enemy, he pours it down his back. For this he is sentenced to the ignominy to being held on a boy's back, and beaten by no less a person that Sykesy himself. Kept in after the first recess, he goes to the blackboard and writes the words: "I sure am the human boomerang," and bursts into tears. Mary comes to comfort him and as he throws himself weeping into her arms, he is interrupted by Jack, and thus are sown the seeds of a causeless jealousy.
