But, while Daffydowndilly was yet a little boy, his mother sent +him away from his pleasant home, and put him under the care of a very strict +schoolmaster, who went by the name of Mr. Toil. Those who knew him best +affirmed that this Mr. Toil was a very worthy character; and that he had done +more good, both to children and grown people, than anybody else in the world. +Certainly he had lived long enough to do a great deal of good; for, if all +stories be true, he had dwelt upon earth ever since Adam was driven from the +garden of Eden. +</p> + +<p> +Nevertheless, Mr. Toil had a severe and ugly countenance, especially for such +little boys or big men as were inclined to be idle; his voice, too, was harsh; +and all his ways and customs seemed very disagreeable to our friend +Daffydowndilly. The whole day long, this terrible old schoolmaster sat at his +desk overlooking the scholars, or stalked about the school-room with a certain +awful birch rod in his hand. Now came a rap over the shoulders of a boy whom +Mr. Toil had caught at play; now he punished a whole class who were behindhand +with their lessons; and, in short, unless a lad chose to attend quietly and +constantly to his book, he had no chance of enjoying a quiet moment in the +school-room of Mr. Toil. +</p> + +<p> +“This will never do for me,” thought Daffydowndilly. +</p> + +<p> +Now, the whole of Daffydowndilly’s life had hitherto been passed with his +dear mother, who had a much sweeter face than old Mr. Toil, and who had always +been very indulgent to her little boy. No wonder, therefore, that poor +Daffydowndilly found it a woful change, to be sent away from the good +lady’s side, and put under the care of this ugly-visaged schoolmaster, +who never gave him any apples or cakes, and seemed to think that little boys +were created only to get lessons. +</p> + +<p> +“I can’t bear it any longer,” said Daffydowndilly to himself, +when he had been at school about a week. “I’ll run away, and try to +find my dear mother; and, at any rate, I shall never find anybody half so +disagreeable as this old Mr. Toil!” +</p> + +<p> +So, the very next morning, off started poor Daffydowndilly, and began his +rambles about the world, with only some bread and cheese for his breakfast, and +very little pocket-money to pay his expenses. But he had gone only a short +distance, when he overtook a man of grave and sedate appearance, who was +trudging at a moderate pace along the road. +</p> + +<p> +“Good morning, my fine lad,” said the stranger; and his voice +seemed hard and severe, but yet had a sort of kindness in it; “whence do +you come so early, and whither are you going?” +</p> + +<p> +Little Daffydowndilly was a boy of very ingenuous disposition, and had never +been known to tell a lie in all his life. Nor did he tell one now. He hesitated +a moment or two, but finally confessed that he had run away from school, on +account of his great dislike to Mr. Toil; and that he was resolved to find some +place in the world where he should never see or hear of the old schoolmaster +again. +</p> + +<p> +“O, very well, my little friend!” answered the stranger. +“Then we will go together; for I, likewise, have had a good deal to do +with Mr. Toil, and should be glad to find some place where he was never heard +of.” +</p> + +<p> +Our friend Daffydowndilly would have been better pleased with a companion of +his own age, with whom he might have gathered flowers along the roadside, or +have chased butterflies, or have done many other things to make the journey +pleasant. But he had wisdom enough to understand that he should get along +through the world much easier by having a man of experience to show him the +way. So he accepted the stranger’s proposal, and they walked on very +sociably together. +</p> + +<p> +They had not gone far, when the road passed by a field where some haymakers +were at work, mowing down the tall grass, and spreading it out in the sun to +dry. Daffydowndilly was delighted with the sweet smell of the new-mown grass, +and thought how much pleasanter it must be to make hay in the sunshine, under +the blue sky, and with the birds singing sweetly in the neighboring trees and +bushes, than to be shut up in a dismal school-room, learning lessons all day +long, and continually scolded by old Mr. Toil. But, in the midst of these +thoughts, while he was stopping to peep over the stone wall, he started back +and caught hold of his companion’s hand. +</p> + +<p> +“Quick, quick!” cried he. “Let us run away, or he will catch +us!” +</p> + +<p> +“Who will catch us?” asked the stranger. +</p> + +<p> +“Mr. Toil, the old schoolmaster!” answered Daffydowndilly. +“Don’t you see him amongst the haymakers?” +</p> + +<p> +And Daffydowndilly pointed to an elderly man, who seemed to be the owner of the +field, and the employer of the men at work there. He had stripped off his coat +and waistcoat, and was busily at work in his shirt-sleeves. The drops of sweat +stood upon his brow; but he gave himself not a moment’s rest, and kept +crying out to the haymakers to make hay while the sun shone. Now, strange to +say, the figure and features of this old farmer were precisely the same as +those of old Mr. Toil, who, at that very moment, must have been just entering +his school-room. +</p> + +<p> +“Don’t be afraid,” said the stranger. “This is not Mr. +Toil the schoolmaster, but a brother of his, who was bred a farmer; and people +say he is the most disagreeable man of the two. However, he won’t trouble +you, unless you become a laborer on the farm.” +</p> + +<p> +Little Daffydowndilly believed what his companion said, but was very glad, +nevertheless, when they were out of sight of the old farmer, who bore such a +singular resemblance to Mr. Toil. The two travellers had gone but little +farther, when they came to a spot where some carpenters were erecting a house. +Daffydowndilly begged his companion to stop a moment; for it was a very pretty +sight to see how neatly the carpenters did their work, with their broad-axes, +and saws, and planes, and hammers, shaping out the doors, and putting in the +window-sashes, and nailing on the clapboards; and he could not help thinking +that he should like to take a broad-axe, a saw, a plane, and a hammer, and +build a little house for himself. And then, when he should have a house of his +own, old Mr. Toil would never dare to molest him. +</p> + +<p> +But, just while he was delighting himself with this idea, little Daffydowndilly +beheld something that made him catch hold of his companion’s hand, all in +a fright. +</p> + +<p> +“Make haste. Quick, quick!” cried he. “There he is +again!” +</p> + +<p> +“Who?” asked the stranger, very quietly. +</p> + +<p> +“Old Mr. Toil,” said Daffydowndilly, trembling. “There! he +that is overseeing the carpenters. ‘T is my old schoolmaster, as sure as +I’m alive!” +</p> + +<p> +The stranger cast his eyes where Daffydowndilly pointed his finger; and he saw +an elderly man, with a carpenter’s rule and compasses in his hand. This +person went to and fro about the unfinished house, measuring pieces of timber, +and marking out the work that was to be done, and continually exhorting the +other carpenters to be diligent. And wherever he turned his hard and wrinkled +visage, the men seemed to feel that they had a task-master over them, and +sawed, and hammered, and planed, as if for dear life. +</p> + +<p> +“O no! this is not Mr. Toil, the schoolmaster,” said the stranger. +“It is another brother of his, who follows the trade of carpenter.” +</p> + +<p> +“I am very glad to hear it,” quoth Daffydowndilly; “but if +you please, sir, I should like to get out of his way as soon as +possible.” +</p> + +<p> +Then they went on a little farther, and soon heard the sound of a drum and +fife. Daffydowndilly pricked up his ears at this, and besought his companion to +hurry forward, that they might not miss seeing the soldiers. Accordingly, they +made what haste they could, and soon met a company of soldiers, gayly dressed, +with beautiful feathers in their caps, and bright muskets on their shoulders. +In front marched two drummers and two fifers, beating on their drums and +playing on their fifes with might and main, and making such lively music that +little Daffydowndilly would gladly have followed them to the end of the world. +And if he was only a soldier, then, he said to himself, old Mr. Toil would +never venture to look him in the face. +</p> + +<p> +“Quick step! Forward march!” shouted a gruff voice. +</p> + +<p> +Little Daffydowndilly started, in great dismay; for this voice which had spoken +to the soldiers sounded precisely the same as that which he had heard every day +in Mr. Toil’s school-room, out of Mr. Toil’s own mouth. And, +turning his eyes to the captain of the company, what should he see but the very +image of old Mr. Toil himself, with a smart cap and feather on his head, a pair +of gold epaulets on his shoulders, a laced coat on his back, a purple sash +round his waist, and a long sword, instead of a birch rod, in his hand. And +though he held his head so high, and strutted like a turkey-cock, still he +looked quite as ugly and disagreeable as when he was hearing lessons in the +schoolroom. +</p> + +<p> +“This is certainly old Mr. Toil,” said Daffydowndilly, in a +trembling voice. “Let us run away, for fear he should make us enlist in +his company!” +</p> + +<p> +“You are mistaken again, my little friend,” replied the stranger, +very composedly. “This is not Mr. Toil, the schoolmaster, but a brother +of his, who has served in the army all his life. People say he’s a +terribly severe fellow; but you and I need not be afraid of him.” +</p> + +<p> +“Well, well,” said little Daffydowndilly, “but, if you +please, sir, I don’t want to see the soldiers any more.” +</p> + +<p> +So the child and the stranger resumed their journey; and, by and by, they came +to a house by the roadside, where a number of people were making merry. Young +men and rosy-checked girls, with smiles on their faces, were dancing to the +sound of a fiddle. It was the pleasantest sight that Daffydowndilly had yet met +with, and it comforted him for all his disappointments. +</p> + +<p> +“O, let us stop here,” cried he to his companion; “for Mr. +Toil will never dare to show his face where there is a fiddler, and where +people are dancing and making merry. We shall be quite safe here!” +</p> + +<p> +But these last words died away upon Daffydowndilly’s tongue; for, +happening to cast his eyes on the fiddler, whom should be behold again, but the +likeness of Mr. Toil, holding a fiddle-bow instead of a birch rod, and +flourishing it with as much ease and dexterity as if he had been a fiddler all +his life! He had somewhat the air of a Frenchman, but still looked exactly like +the old schoolmaster; and Daffydowndilly even fancied that he nodded and winked +at him, and made signs for him to join in the dance. +</p> + +<p> +“O dear me!” whispered he, turning pale. “It seems as if +there was nobody but Mr. Toil in the world. Who could have thought of his +playing on a fiddle!” +</p> + +<p> +“This is not your old schoolmaster,” observed the stranger, +“but another brother of his, who was bred in France, where he learned the +profession of a fiddler. He is ashamed of his family, and generally calls +himself Monsieur le Plaisir; but his real name is Toil, and those who have +known him best think him still more disagreeable than his brothers.” +</p> + +<p> +“Pray let us go a little farther,” said Daffydowndilly. “I +don’t like the looks of this fiddler at all.” +</p> + +<p> +Well, thus the stranger and little Daffydowndilly went wandering along the +highway, and in shady lanes, and through pleasant villages; and whithersoever +they went, behold! there was the image of old Mr. Toil. He stood like a +scarecrow in the cornfields. If they entered a house, he sat in the parlor; if +they peeped into the kitchen, he was there. He made himself at home in every +cottage, and stole, under one disguise or another, into the most splendid +mansions. Everywhere there was sure to be somebody wearing the likeness of Mr. +Toil, and who, as the stranger affirmed, was one of the old +schoolmaster’s innumerable brethren. +</p> + +<p> +Little Daffydowndilly was almost tired to death, when he perceived some people +reclining lazily in a shady place, by the side of the road. The poor child +entreated his companion that they might sit down there, and take some repose. +</p> + +<p> +“Old Mr. Toil will never come here,” said he; “for he hates +to see people taking their ease.” +</p> + +<p> +But, even while he spoke, Daffydowndilly’s eyes fell upon a person who +seemed the laziest, and heaviest, and most torpid of all those lazy and heavy +and torpid people who had lain down to sleep in the shade. Who should it be, +again, but the very image of Mr. Toil! +</p> + +<p> +“There is a large family of these Toils,” remarked the stranger. +“This is another of the old schoolmaster’s brothers, who was bred +in Italy, where he acquired very idle habits, and goes by the name of Signor +Far Niente. He pretends to lead an easy life, but is really the most miserable +fellow in the family.” +</p> + +<p> +“O, take me back!—take me back!” cried poor little +Daffydowndilly, bursting into tears. “If there is nothing but Toil all +the world over, I may just as well go back to the school-house!” +</p> + +<p> +“Yonder it is,—there is the school-house!” said the stranger; +for though he and little Daffydowndilly had taken a great many steps, they had +travelled in a circle, instead of a straight line. “Come; we will go back +to school together.” +</p> + +<p> +There was something in his companion’s voice that little Daffydowndilly +now remembered; and it is strange that he had not remembered it sooner. Looking +up into his face, behold! there again was the likeness of old Mr. Toil; so that +the poor child had been in company with Toil all day, even while he was doing +his best to run away from him. Some people, to whom I have told little +Daffydowndilly’s story, are of opinion that old Mr. Toil was a magician, +and possessed the power of multiplying himself into as many shapes as he saw +fit. +</p> + +<p> +Be this as it may, little Daffydowndilly had learned a good lesson, and from +that time forward was diligent at his task, because he knew that diligence is +not a whit more toilsome than sport or idleness. And when he became better +acquainted with Mr. Toil, he began to think that his ways were not so very +disagreeable, and that the old schoolmaster’s smile of approbation made +his face almost as pleasant as even that of Daffydowndilly’s mother. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div style='display:block; margin-top:4em'>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LITTLE DAFFYDOWNDILLY ***</div> +<div style='text-align:left'> + +<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> +Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will +be renamed. +</div> + +<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> +Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright +law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, +so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United +States without permission and without paying copyright +royalties.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state +visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>. +</div> + +<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. +</div> + +<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States.
