“That’s so! Andrew is a mean boy. I’m glad you hit him.”
“I am sorry, Dick.”
“Don’t you think he deserved it?”
“Yes, but I don’t like to be the one to do it.”
“I wouldn’t mind it,” said Dick, “but he’s precious careful not to get into any muss with me.”
“You’re not bound to Mr. Badger.”
“If I were, he wouldn’t dare to order me round. Catch him bulldozing me!”
“You’re more plucky than I am, Dick.”
“You’re too good-natured, Bill—that’s what’s the matter with you.”
“I hate fighting, Dick.”
