原文
"No, I never did," whimpered Davy. "I was just kneeling here, quiet as
quiet, to watch you folks through the bannisters, and my foot struck
that old thing and pushed it off . . . and I'm awful hungry . . . and I
do wish you'd lick a fellow and have done with it, instead of always
sending him upstairs to miss all the fun."
