He did n't think Walter would fight , or he would n't have called names before him . Oh , if you could just have seen Walter 's face when he looked at him , Una ! It made me shiver -- with a nice shiver . He looked just like Sir Galahad in that poem father read us on Saturday . '' `` I hate the thought of them fighting and I wish it could be stopped , '' said Una . `` Oh , it 's got to go on now , '' cried Faith . `` It 's a matter of honour . Do n't you DARE tell anyone , Una . If you do I 'll never tell you secrets again ! '' `` I wo n't tell , '' agreed Una . `` But I wo n't stay to-morrow to watch the fight . I 'm coming right home . '' `` Oh , all right . I have to be there -- it would be mean not to , when Walter is fighting for me . I 'm going to tie my colours on his arm -- that 's the thing to do when he 's my knight . How lucky Mrs. Blythe gave me that pretty blue hair-ribbon for my birthday ! I 've only worn it twice so it will be almost new . But I wish I was sure Walter would win . It will be so -- so HUMILIATING if he does n't . '' Faith would have been yet more dubious if she could have seen her champion just then .
XXXXX had gone home from school with all his righteous anger at a low ebb and a very nasty feeling in its place .
