Chapter 8 Summary: Raid!

The chapter 8 is about the Boot’s plan to blame Elmer and George in a panty raid, Bruno and Boots were in their rooms waiting for Elmer and George to sleep, so Boots was talking with George about the dance at Miss Scrimmage Finishing School for ladies then they were discussing because Boots hadn’t the same ideas like George about the dance, then George got into bed and when he was sound asleep Boots was preparing all to begin the plan then fifteen minutes later the window opened and he went out along with a monogrammed money clip, a personalized teletype machine key and a gold pen and pencil set, all clearly the property of George Wexford-Smyth III.

Elmer had not gone to the dance either because he dislike girls and Bruno also was waiting Elmer until he went to sleep but actually Elmer didn’t want to sleep because he was observing the crab nebula with his telescope because also he was an astronomer, Elmer was very distracted observing the sky, stars and the universe so Bruno tiptoed through the room gathering up some of Elmer's more recognizable possessions, the skull of a rodent, a signed membership in the Toronto Horticultural Society and a corked test tube bearing a label (Drimsdale, Test 3-A, Sept. 15/80). Elmer was still raving about the crab nebula and was even starting to sketch it when Bruno opened the door and shut it silently then Bruno was knocking on the Perry Elbert’s door of the room 205 because he needed to get out through his window so he met with Boots at the old cannon then they went to Miss Scrimmage Finishing School for ladies to ask for help to Diane, Cathy and all the ladies. Bruno and Boots told to the girls if they could bring all their panties and make a mess in the rooms putting all the Elmer and George stuff inside of the rooms in order to blame them for the entire riot.

The plan was in action with Bruno and Boots running with the panties and the girls making a lot of noise and auctioning the fire alarm to make more chaos, and then Miss Scrimmage woke up waving a shoot gun and shooting it for accident to the sign that now was read: Miss Scrimmage's Fishing School for Young Ladies. After Bruno and Boots returned to McDonald Hall, Boots extracted a pair of pink panties from the pillowcase and stuffed them into the pocket of George's tan jacket. The rest of the panties he pushed under George's pillow. Then he climbed into bed and promptly fell asleep.
