Delighted with the success of his trick, Peter again secures the inkstand at a favorable opportunity, and looks for fresh victims. A young man making love to a girl is temporarily disfigured to the hilarious amusement of his divinity, and an unsuspecting schoolmate is similarly badly treated, whilst peaceable pedestrians suffer incalculable damage to their clothes and tempers. Peter at last wends his way to school, arrives late, is reprimanded, and brings into play again the terrible inkwell. Master and scholars are alike bespattered from head to foot, and chaos reigns supreme until order is restored by the master gaining the upper hand and bestowing a well-merited chastisement on his refractory pupil.
