The
big
footman
almost
periled
his
reputation
and
his
situation
by
smiling
.
He
was
an
aristocratic
footman
who
had
always
lived
in
the
best
of
noble
families
,
and
he
had
never
smiled
;
indeed
,
he
would
have
felt
himself
a
disgraced
and
vulgar
footman
if
he
had
allowed
himself
to
be
led
by
any
circumstance
whatever
into
such
an
indiscretion
as
a
smile
.
But
he
had
a
very
narrow
escape
.
He
only
just
saved
himself
by
staring
straight
over
the
Earl
’
s
head
at
a
very
ugly
picture
.
The
Earl
looked
his
valiant
young
relative
over
from
head
to
foot
.
“
Do
you
think
you
could
do
it
?
”
he
asked
gruffly
.
“
I
THINK
I
could
,
”
said
Cedric
.
“
I
’
m
strong
.
I
’
m
seven
,
you
know
.
You
could
lean
on
your
stick
on
one
side
,
and
on
me
on
the
other
.
Dick
says
I
’
ve
a
good
deal
of
muscle
for
a
boy
that
’
s
only
seven
.
”
He
shut
his
hand
and
moved
it
upward
to
his
shoulder
,
so
that
the
Earl
might
see
the
muscle
Dick
had
kindly
approved
of
,
and
his
face
was
so
grave
and
earnest
that
the
footman
found
it
necessary
to
look
very
hard
indeed
at
the
ugly
picture
.
“
Well
,
”
said
the
Earl
,
“
you
may
try
.
”
Cedric
gave
him
his
stick
and
began
to
assist
him
to
rise
.
Usually
,
the
footman
did
this
,
and
was
violently
sworn
at
when
his
lordship
had
an
extra
twinge
of
gout
.
The
Earl
was
not
a
very
polite
person
as
a
rule
,
and
many
a
time
the
huge
footmen
about
him
quaked
inside
their
imposing
liveries
.
But
this
evening
he
did
not
swear
,
though
his
gouty
foot
gave
him
more
twinges
than
one
.
He
chose
to
try
an
experiment
.
He
got
up
slowly
and
put
his
hand
on
the
small
shoulder
presented
to
him
with
so
much
courage
.
Little
Lord
Fauntleroy
made
a
careful
step
forward
,
looking
down
at
the
gouty
foot
.
“
Just
lean
on
me
,
”
he
said
,
with
encouraging
good
cheer
.
“
I
’
ll
walk
very
slowly
.
”
