This year there was not a garden, even on the banks of the river, to compare with it; and when the autumn came, there was more fruit than Mr Macmichael remembered ever to have seen before. Willie was always thinking what uses he could put things to.
"It's a pity it's so late, or rather so early," said Mr Macmichael. "You, Willie, won't be able to see it." "Oh, yes, I shall, father," answered Willie. "I can't let you sit up so late. I shall be in the middle of Sedgy Moor most likely when it begins and who is to wake you? I won't have your mother disturbed, and Tibby's not much to depend upon.
When he had been at school for about three weeks, the boys called him Six-fingered Jack; but his real name was Willie, for his father and mother gave it him not William, but Willie, after a brother of his father, who died young, and had always been called Willie. His name in full was Willie Macmichael.
Mr Macmichael and all of them went up into the tree, Mr Shepherd last and with some misgivings; for, having no mechanical faculty himself, he could not rightly value Willie's, and feared that he might not have made the stair safe.
