If you find time to-day, step into my library and look at the picture. It's on the mantel, and the door is open. It may be some one you know, though I doubt even that." With this I brazenly snatched a pink rose from those within her arm. "You see Fatty Budlow is coming on," I remarked of this bit of boldness. "Let him come he shan't find me in the way." This with an effort to seem significant.
Poor Fatty or Horsehead or whatever they call him stands off and glares at her, and can't say his lesson when he catches her eye only he seldom does catch it, because she's so busy with other boys of more spirit who crowd about her and snatch hair ribbons and sing 'My lady sleeps' until no one else can." "Do you know Fatty Budlow?" asked my surprised woman child of Miss Lansdale.
I happen to know that in a former existence he was never even asked to write, though he always hoped he might be." "I'm sorry if you like him, Uncle Maje, but I'm positive that Fatty Budlow is not a boy I could ever feel deeply for. I don't believe our acquaintance will even ripen into friendship," and she looked with profound eyes into the wondrous, opening future. "Of course it won't," I said.
"Fatty Budlow is so serious," said the woman child, suspecting that the talk had drifted away from her. "It's his curse," I admitted. "If he weren't an A No. 1 dreamer, he'd be too serious to live, but be goes dreaming and maundering along dreaming that things are about as he would like to have them.
Doubtless there was good reason for it, as good as there is for calling Budlow 'Fatty." "What did you do?" she asked again. "I went to the war with what I could take nothing but a picture." "And you lost that?" "Yes under peculiar circumstances. It seemed a kind thing to do at the time." "And you came back with " "With yours, Little Miss!"
"Fatty Fatty Budlow, if that's the one you mean. Do you know him, Uncle Maje?" "Better than any boy in the world! Haven't I been telling you about him?" "Once he brought a bag of candy to school, and I thought he was coming up to hand it to me, but he turned red in the face and stuffed it right into his pocket."
