“Freddy had to walk back to the corner where he had left Cy, and then they rode up to meet the boy. Billy told them of Mrs. Wiggins’ escape. He said that he had left his father stamping up and down the living room. “I’ve never seen him so mad at anyone,” Billy said. “He’s been talking about an ancestor of ours, Sir Henry Margarine; he fought twenty duels and won all of them. Dad says if you were only of noble blood, he’d send you a challenge. But he says you being a pig, he couldn’t demean himse...lf—excuse me, Freddy, but that’s what he said.”
“I’m glad he feels that way,” Freddy said. “I don’t want him to demean himself by shooting bullets into me. Oh, good gracious, can’t we talk about something else?”
Billy could, and did. He was delighted with his new saddle and clothes and pistols. Freddy promised to teach him how to use a rope—“if I don’t get shot, that is,” he said. They rode up to Otesaraga Lake, and Freddy showed the boy Mr. Camphor’s estate, where he had been caretaker one summer.MoreLess Read More Read Less
