<h1>Little Daffydowndilly</h1>
<h2 class="no-break">by Nathaniel Hawthorne</h2>
<hr />
<div class="chapter">
<p>
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.
</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.

<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of

exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
</div>
<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ 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™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
</div>
<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
Project Gutenberg™ 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.
</div>
<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
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 <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. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
</div>
<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of

<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
Project Gutenberg™ 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.
