Billy Bunter's Postal order

Detained during break, Bunter is unable to scan the letter rack. Ever hopeful that his celebrated postal order might, finally, have arrived, he asks Cherry to look for him. Cherry agrees to chuck any letter for Bunter in at the form-room window. There is indeed a letter for Bunter, and it is duly tossed into the form-room. Only to be confiscated by Quelch!

For years Bunter had dreamed of cashing his postal order at the post office. Now, finally, the moment had arrived, and, disaster had struck! When the letter is belatedly read it is clear that it had not contained a remittance from home. Worse, Quelch has missed a postal order from his study.

So begins a series of misadventures with hilarious and potentially catastrophic events that lead to Bunter being suspected of pilfering, and he then scoots into hiding. Both the form-room cupboard and the music room become the fat Owl's sanctuaries as he tries to evade Quelch's searching eye.
