Walter shivered again . `` They want me to -- but I ca n't . It would hurt so . '' `` Are you afraid of a little pain ? '' asked Faith contemptuously . Walter flushed . `` It would be a BIG pain . I hate being hurt . Father said he would n't insist on my going -- he 'd wait until I 'd made up my own mind to go . '' `` It would n't hurt as long as the toothache , '' argued Faith , `` You 've had five spells of toothache . If you 'd just go and have it out there 'd be no more bad nights . I had a tooth out once . I yelled for a moment , but it was all over then -- only the bleeding . '' `` The bleeding is worst of all -- it 's so ugly , '' cried Walter . `` It just made me sick when Jem cut his foot last summer . Susan said I looked more like fainting than Jem did . But I could n't hear to see Jem hurt , either . Somebody is always getting hurt , Faith -- and it 's awful . I just ca n't BEAR to see things hurt . It makes me just want to run -- and run -- and run -- till I ca n't hear or see them . ''
`` There 's no use making a fuss over anyone getting hurt , '' said XXXXX , tossing her curls .
