[CHAPTER II]
OFF TO THE CARNIVAL
Andy Rush well knew Noddy’s character, and he had no notion of remaining to be chastised by the bully. He leaped to his feet and started to run, Noddy taking after him. Andy fell on a slippery patch of dried grass, and Noddy was almost upon him when Jerry ran up.
“That’ll do you,” he said. “Let Andy alone.”
“I will not.”
“Yes, you will.”
“No, I won’t.”
“I’ll punch your head if you touch him.”
Noddy knew Jerry was as good as his word, and as the bully had, more than once, felt Jerry’s fists, he backed off.
“He hasn’t got any right to make fun of my machine,” he muttered.
