　　Chapter 12 GEORGE LOSES HER TEMPER
　　Jock made a face at Cecil and got up. He went slowly off round the haystack, and the otherslistened in silence for whacks1 and yells. But none came.
　　'He frightened me,' said Cecil, sitting down by the others.
　　'Poor icle ting,' said Dick at once.
　　'Darling baby,' said George.
　　'Mother's pet,' said Julian. Cecil glared at them all. He got up again, very red.
　　'If I didn't know my manners, I'd smack3 your faces,' he said, and marched off hurriedly, beforehis own could be smacked4.
　　The four sat in silence. They were sorry for Jock. George was angry and sulky because she knewthe others had gone off without her the night before. Anne was worried.
　　They all sat there for about ten minutes. Then round the haystack came Jock's mother, lookingdistressed. She carried a big basket of food.
　　The children all stood up politely. 'Good morning, Mrs. Andrews,' said Julian.
　　'I'm sorry I can't ask you to stop today,' said Mrs. Andrews. 'But Jock has really behaved veryfoolishly. I wouldn't let Mr. Andrews give him a hiding because it would only make Jock hatehis stepfather, and that would never do. So I've sent him up to bed for the day. You won't be ableto see him, I'm afraid. Here is some food for you to take. Oh, dear - I'm really very sorry aboutall this. I can't think what came over Jock to behave in such a way. It's not a bit like him.'
　　Cecil's face appeared round the haystack, looking rather smug. Julian grinned to himself.

　　'Would you like us to take Cecil for a nice long walk over the moors5?' he said. 'We can climbhills and jump over streams and scramble6 through the heather. It would make such a nice day forhim.'
　　Cecil's face immediately disappeared.
　　'Well,' said Mrs. Andrews, 'that really would be very kind of you. Now that Jock's been sentupstairs for the day there's no one for Cecil to play with. But I'm afraid he's a bit of a mother'sboy, you know. You'll have to go carefully with him. Cecil! Cecil! Where are you? Come andmake friends with these children.'
　　But Cecil had gone. There was no answer at all. He didn't want to make friends with 'thesechildren'. He knew better than that! Mrs. Andrews went in search of him, but he had completelydisappeared.
