'Fightin' ain't the only grand thing in this world; peace is grander,' was the slow response to this appeal. 'That's what mother says. She made me learn this morning  "Blessed are the peacemakers!" but you must have an enemy to make peace with, and I haven't got one.'

, like weeds, grow apace!' Teddy had no answer for this; his mouth was full of bread and butter, and he did not speak till the meal was over. Then, whilst tea was being taken away by the women, he turned to his uncle, who, pulling out a pipe from his pocket, sat down by the open door to smoke. 'Uncle Jake!' A grunt was the only response; but that was sufficient. The two perfectly understood each other, and a minute after Teddy was perched on his knee. 'I'm wondering if I can't get an enemy!' the boy proceeded, folding his small arms and looking up at his uncle steadily; 'all good people had enemies in the Bible, and I haven't one, I should like to have a good right down enemy!' 'To fight?' asked his uncle. 'To carry on with, you know; he would lay traps for me, and I would for him, like David and Saul; we should have a fine time of it. And then perhaps, if he did something dreadfully wrong, mother would give me leave to fight him, just once in a way. Don't you think that would be nice?
