"I do, Charley. I think he feels awful cheap about it."
"I hope he does."
"I know he does."
"He didn't say so?"
"No; but he acted so."
"If he feels cheap I hope he will stay so and keep his distance."
Bertie hoped so too. He was very much obliged to Jack for helping him with the trap, but he did not care to be on familiar terms with him. He was not the right sort of boy for a companion. On the whole he was sorry to have met him at the spring.
"I hope I shall not fall in with him to-morrow morning," he said, half to himself, half to Charley.
"You won't if you stay at home."
"I shall not do that."
