[The Wouldbegoods by E. Nesbit]@TWC D-Link bookThe Wouldbegoods CHAPTER 8 8/32
'He'll live to bite another day,' said the miller. The miller's wife gave us bread and cheese and more Eiffel Tower lemonade, and we went home at last, a little damp, but full of successful ambition, with our fish on a string. It had been a strikingly good time--one of those times that happen in the country quite by themselves.
Country people are much more friendly than town people.
I suppose they don't have to spread their friendly feelings out over so many persons, so it's thicker, like a pound of butter on one loaf is thicker than on a dozen.
Friendliness in the country is not scrape, like it is in London.
Even Dicky and H.O.
