And so we started, and everybody gave us a good-
by and waved their handkerchiefs or helmets.
And everybody we met, going down the hill and
through the village, was respectful to us, except some
shabby little boys on the outskirts. They said:

"Oh, what a guy!" And hove clods at us.

In my experience boys are the same in all ages.
They don't respect anything, they don't care for
anything or anybody. They say "Go up, baldhead"
to the prophet going his unoffending way in the gray
of antiquity; they sass me in the holy gloom of the
Middle Ages; and I had seen them act the same way
in Buchanan's administration; I remember, because
I was there and helped. The prophet had his bears
and settled with his boys; and I wanted to get down
and settle with mine, but it wouldn't answer, be-
cause I couldn't have got up again. I hate a country
Without a derrick.
