But it was also known that Mr. Campbell was not always in a good humour . If he liked you there was nothing he would not do for you ; if he disliked you -- well , you were not left in ignorance of it . In short , we had the impression that Mr. Campbell resembled the famous little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead . `` When he was good , he was very , very good , and when he was bad he was horrid . '' What if this were one of his horrid days ? `` He ca n't DO anything to us , you know , '' said the Story Girl . `` He may be rude , but that wo n't hurt any one but himself . '' `` Hard words break no bones , '' observed Felicity philosophically . `` But they hurt your feelings . I am afraid of Mr. Campbell , '' said Cecily candidly . `` Perhaps we 'd better give up and go home , '' suggested Dan . `` You can go home if you like , '' said the Story Girl scornfully . `` But I am going to see Mr. Campbell . I know I can manage him . But if I have to go alone , and he gives me anything , I 'll keep it all for my own collection , mind you . '' That settled it . We were not going to let the Story Girl get ahead of us in the manner of collecting . Mr. Campbell 's housekeeper ushered us into his parlour and left us . Presently Mr. Campbell himself was standing in the doorway , looking us over . We took heart of grace .
It seemed to be one XXXXX his good days , for there was a quizzical smile on his broad , clean-shaven , strongly-featured face .
