The 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.
