To put a stop to that silly quarrel that’s gone on so long, you know. We’re having William Brown and his friends. She was talking in a loud voice to a friend. Then he suddenly realised that the mountainous lady just in front of him was Mrs Lane. He’d have to wait all night before anyone took any notice of him. He entered the baker’s shop and stared around him resentfully. In ordinary circumstances William forgot his mother’s messages in the village. His mother had told him to stop at the baker’s with an order for her, and it was a sign of his intense depression that he remembered to do it. William walked slowly and draggingly through the village on his way home. They met in the old barn in the morning to arrange their plan of action, but none of them could think of any plan of action to arrange, and the meeting broke up gloomily at lunchtime, without having come to any decision at all. But it all went terribly wrong when Hubert played a prank on William. In the first part of this story in yesterday’s Mail, the mothers of William and his arch-enemy Hubert agreed to put an end the boys’ rivalry by making them invite each other to their Christmas parties.
