JOHNNY BLOSSOM FIGHTING 25
jelly. That was what he had meant he would
not do.
Soon he was in the grounds again, but he did
not hurry, nor did he give one thought to the
cross mastiff. Every now and then he opened his
hand to look at the two silver pieces. To think
that he really had two half-dollars! He could
get himself extra good fishing tackle for that
much money — far better than William Holm’s
even. Yes, as Uncle Isaac had said, there was
always something you wanted to buy for
yourself. What was that other thing Uncle Isaac
had said? The man with the most love in his
heart was the greatest? He who was kind was
greater than he who was strong?
How hard he had hit Tellef in the face! How
the blood had spurted out from his nose! It was
too bad. Tellef had not been out to play last
night or today either. How that jacket of his
looked, torn that way! Really, it was a perfect
shame.
Again and again Johnny Blossom opened his
hand and looked at the silver pieces. Suddenly,
speaking aloud in his determination, he said:
"I am going to give these to Tellef. It was
an awful shame for me to fight him like that,
even if he did hit me in the back."
