The chair looked like it was part of the dining room set. Elly would have a right to be mad about this one, especially if Michael doesn’t know who he sold it to so she could get it back.
That is a good observation, Michael is like Pinocchio. Michael prefers goofing off to working and going to church and is disobedient to his family. That was like the idea behind Pleasure Island, where kids could run wild without any supervision, doing things like drinking, smoking, fighting, being destructive and gluttonous, as well as play without working or having to listen to dumb ol’ parents, parsons or authority figures. Eventually they made jackasses of themselves by transforming into donkeys then getting sold to the circus or the salt mines. The lesson behind that was that boys who do not read the Bible, disobey their parents, or say things such as “school is queer!” or “Boy Scouts is idiotic” are often destined to grow up to become men who are qualified for nothing except jobs with a lot of backbreaking work. That is a real world lesson as there are plenty of taskmasters in the world (i.e. the Coachman), who will take advantage of that.

He also got a marble from his room stolen by his sister. (If he really did make $4 worth of lemonade, he’d have how many nickels?)
