Henry and James, finding that Rollo would not give up the cabinet to Jonas's care, considered the plan of the society abandoned, and went to play in the yard. Lucy went into the house to find her cousin Mary. Rollo remained at the cabinet for some time, but he found it very dull amusement to work there alone; besides, he heard the other boys' voices out in the yard, and before long he began to feel a strong desire to go and see what they were doing. He accordingly went to the door of the barn. He saw that Henry and James had got a log of wood out, and had placed a board across it, for a see-saw. Rollo slowly walked along towards them. Henry saw him gradually approaching, and so he whispered, or rather spoke in a low tone to James, saying, "Here comes Rollo, James; don't let's let him get on our see-saw." But James felt in more of a forgiving mood than Henry. He did not like quarrelling, and he knew very well that peace-makers must be prepared to yield and forbear, even if they had not been themselves in the wrong. So he said, "O, yes, Henry, let him have a ride. He may get on my end. "Rollo," he added, calling to Rollo, as he came up, "do you want to see-saw? You may have my end." Rollo did not quite expect this gentle treatment, and it made him feel a little ashamed. He, however, took James's place, but he did not feel quite easy there. He knew it was a place that he did not deserve. Pretty soon he proposed that they should all go after raspberries down the lane. "Well," said Henry, "and I'll go and get my dipper." "Your dipper?" said Rollo. "Yes," said Henry, "I brought a dipper." Henry then went to a wood pile which was lying in the yard, and, looking behind it, among the logs, he drew out a small tin dipper, and showed it to Rollo. "O, I wish I had a dipper to carry!" said Rollo. "It is better than a basket." Rollo went into the house, and presently returned bringing two small baskets. "One for me?" said James, interrogatively, holding out his hand. "Yes," said Rollo. "Give me the other," said Henry, "and you shall have my dipper." "Well," said Rollo. "_I_ should rather have a basket," said James. "No," said Rollo, "I think a dipper is better. I can get some drink with it, if we come to any brook." "But you must give me some drink out of the dipper, if I want any," said Henry-- "Well," said Rollo, "I will." "Though I can drink without a dipper," said Henry. "How?" said Rollo. "O, I can get a piece of elder, and punch out the pith, and that will make a hollow reed; and I can draw up the water through that into my mouth." By this time, Rollo and Henry had exchanged the basket and the dipper, and they were all walking along together. Rollo told the boys of several other reasons why he would rather have the dipper on such an expedition; but Henry preferred the basket, and so all were satisfied.
