But before that happens, his losing spitball battle with Mrs. Strangely enough, it was Ellen who at last brought about his comeuppance. Of all Otis’s acquaintances, the neat and well-behaved Ellen Tebbits was the one he most enjoyed teasing.
Gitler suggested that Otis might someday get his comeuppance. Otis was disappointed at not being the toreador, but as the front half of the bull he managed to steal the whole show, to the annoyance of his classmates and his teacher. Gitler did not entirely relish the bullfight at the fiesta arranged for the P.T.A. Gitler would have found him pretty hard to take.
There was nothing Otis Spofford liked better than stirring up a little excitement, particularly at school.
