To try and stop all the gambling going on she rationed the cigarettes, so
they no longer had anything to bet, but that never stopped them, they used
money instead.

spontaneity inspires many others to be like himself and jump off the tree.
Another example of Phineas' power is his character establishing scene of
disrespect to the school by wearing his pink shirt and the Devon School tie

get by with so much. Phineas "might have rather enjoyed the punishment if
it was done ...
