I cannot grow the pepper, so I shall buy a farthing's-worth of that and a farthing's-worth of mustard seed, which I would grow, and could then give you mustard to eat, and also a salad." "What would you do for salt?" asked Buttar. "I would make that very quickly by the seaside.
At the same time, I believe that they are more connected, and the importance of the latter is greater than some people are apt to suppose. Bracebridge, Buttar, Bouldon, and Gregson were waiting to welcome Ellis when he got down from the coach, which passed through the village, half-a-mile from the house. They all, as they walked home, had a great deal to say, and a great deal to tell him.
He let Ernest into the politics of the school, and gave him a great deal of valuable information. Ernest listened attentively, and asked several questions on important points, all of which Buttar answered in a satisfactory way. "This is a very jolly place altogether, you see," he remarked; "what is wrong is generally owing to our own faults, or rather to that of the big fellows.
One declined to play with him, and then another, and another, till at last he found that he was cut by the whole school, with the exception of the three or four friends who generally sided with Bracebridge Buttar, Bouldon, Gregson, and little Eden. Poor fellow! it was a sore trial. Whatever the fault of which he had been guilty, he had long ago heartily repented of it.
"I'll tell you what," answered Buttar, bursting into a fit of laughter, "I look upon the affair as a bit of arrant tom-foolery; and so you may tell the donkeys who drew it up." Dawson grew very red; but he had a respect for Buttar's knuckles, and so he held his tongue.
They will not know who else has signed it; and we will put the little fellows up how to act, as circumstances may show us to be most advisable." "Capital!" exclaimed Buttar, affixing his signature in a clear bold hand to the document. "Would it not be better to tell Lemon what we have done?" "I think not," said Ernest. "The resolution emanates from us, so let us carry it out.
The greater part of the day was consumed in preparations for the hunt. Everybody engaged looked out their easiest shoes, and their thickest worsted socks. Still a huntsman and a whipper-in were to be chosen: Buttar proposed asking Lemon, and Bouldon seconded the motion. But then it was suggested, that Ernest had consulted him as to the course he should pursue. One or two cried out for Blackall.
When he had very nearly driven the ball home to the goal, several of them threw themselves before him, and drove it some way back again; but Buttar, Bouldon, Gregson, and some others had now come up, and even little Eden rushed heroically in to stop its course and to drive it back, so that Ernest might once more get it within the power of his unerring stick.
The compact was then and there sealed, not to be broken; and the boys felt that they understood each other. "What is your name?" said Ernest. "It is curious that I should not know it, and yet I feel as if I was a friend of yours." "My name is John Buttar," answered the boy. "I have heard yours.
