Pinocchio, feeling almost frightened, looked from side to side to try and discover where these words could come from, but he saw nobody. The donkeys galloped, the coach rattled, the boys inside slept, Candlewick snored like a dormouse, and the little man seated on the box sang between his teeth: "During the night all sleep, But I sleep never."
That is, that when Pinocchio and Candlewick discovered that they were both struck with the same misfortune, instead of feeling full of mortification and grief, they began to prick their ungainly ears and to make a thousand antics, and they ended by going into bursts of laughter. And they laughed, and laughed, and laughed, until they had to hold themselves together.
I have never been there, but I can quite imagine it." "Why will you not come also?" "It is useless to tempt me. I promised my good Fairy to become a sensible boy, and I will not break my word." "Good-bye, then, and give my compliments to all the boys at school, if you meet them in the street." "Good-bye, Candlewick; a pleasant journey to you; amuse yourself, and think sometimes of your friends."
Surely a candlestick, or rather an old-fashioned candelabrum with a half-burned candle in one of its sockets. Hastily crossing to it, I felt of the candlewick. It was quite stiff and hard.
And you, dear puppet, why have you got on that cotton cap pulled down over your nose?" "The doctor prescribed it because I have grazed my foot." "Oh, poor Pinocchio!" "Oh, poor Candlewick!" After these words a long silence followed, during which the two friends did nothing but look mockingly at each other.
He had indeed gone at once to his house to invite him to the breakfast, but he had not found him. He returned a second time, but Candlewick was not there. He went a third time, but it was in vain. Where could he search for him? He looked here, there, and everywhere, and at last he saw him hiding on the porch of a peasant's cottage. "What are you doing there?" asked Pinocchio, coming up to him.
I can see them over "Manfrone; or the One-handed Monk," the room dark, the street silent, the hour ten, the tall, red, lurid candlewick waggling down, the flame flickering pale upon Miss Caroline's pale face as she read out, and lighting up honest Becky's goggling eyes, who sat silent, her work in her lap; she had not done a stitch of it for an hour.
"It will make me too late." "Only two minutes." "And if the Fairy scolds me?" "Let her scold. When she has scolded well she will hold her tongue," said that rascal Candlewick. "And what are you going to do? Are you going alone or with companions?" "Alone? Indeed not, there will be more than a hundred boys." "And do you make the journey on foot?"
I intend to study, as all well conducted boys do." "Much good may it do you!" "Pinocchio!" called out Candlewick, "listen to me: come with us and we shall have such fun." "No, no, no!" "Come with us and we shall have such fun," shouted in chorus a hundred voices from the inside of the coach. "But if I come with you, what will my good Fairy say?" said the puppet, who was beginning to yield.
But do you know what the master used to say when he talked to me of you? He always said to me: 'Do not associate with that rascal Candlewick, for he is a bad companion, and will only lead you into mischief!" "Poor master!" replied the other, shaking his head. "I know only too well that he disliked me, and amused himself by calumniating me; but I am generous and I forgive him!"
