+
+Little Daffydowndilly
+
+by Nathaniel Hawthorne
+
+
+
+
+Daffydowndilly was so called because in his nature he resembled a
+flower, and loved to do only what was beautiful and agreeable, and took
+no delight in labor of any kind. 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.
+
+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.
+
+“This will never do for me,” thought Daffydowndilly.
+
+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.
+
+“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!”
+
+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.
+
+“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?”
+
+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.
+
+“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.”
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+“Quick, quick!” cried he. “Let us run away, or he will catch us!”
+
+“Who will catch us?” asked the stranger.
+
+“Mr. Toil, the old schoolmaster!” answered Daffydowndilly. “Don’t you
+see him amongst the haymakers?”
+
+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.
+
+“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.”
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+“Make haste. Quick, quick!” cried he. “There he is again!”
+
+“Who?” asked the stranger, very quietly.
+
+“Old Mr. Toil,” said Daffydowndilly, trembling. “There! he that is
+overseeing the carpenters. ‘T is my old schoolmaster, as sure as I’m
+alive!”
+
+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.
+
+“O no! this is not Mr. Toil, the schoolmaster,” said the stranger. “It
+is another brother of his, who follows the trade of carpenter.”
+
+“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.”
+
+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.
+
+“Quick step! Forward march!” shouted a gruff voice.
+
+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.
+
+“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!”
+
+“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.”
+
+“Well, well,” said little Daffydowndilly, “but, if you please, sir, I
+don’t want to see the soldiers any more.”
+
+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.
+
+“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!”
+
+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.
+
+“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!”
+
+“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.”
+
+“Pray let us go a little farther,” said Daffydowndilly. “I don’t like
+the looks of this fiddler at all.”
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+“Old Mr. Toil will never come here,” said he; “for he hates to see
+people taking their ease.”
+
+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!
+
+“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.”
+
+“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!”
+
+“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.”
+
+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.
+
+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.

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary

+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
+widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
