John March can distrust me and leave me out of his precious company as much as he damn pleases if you like his favorite forms of speech and so may your tomtit Yankee. But you sha'n't!

So the fox went a little farther, and said to a butterfly: "Beautiful butterfly, will you carry a message for me?" But the disdainful butterfly did not even answer. The fox went a little farther, and met a tomtit.
“Enemies, father!” said George, laughing; “Tom could not do me any harm, if he was my enemy.” “That makes me think of the story of the bear and the tomtit,” said the farmer; “and, if you and Rollo will jump up in the cart, I will tell it to you.” Thus far, while they had been talking, the boys had walked along by the side of the road, keeping up with the farmer as he drove along in the cart.
