As Fatty walked alone towards the stable, the guards and staff along the way looked at him with astonished eyes, then tactfully looked away with a pretense of not seeing.
However, this display of tact was clearly unsuccessful. Every face wore a strange, cramp-like expression, and Fatty was sure that out of his sight, these overjoyed fellows would even beat drums and clap their hands in celebration.
Fatty, who dared to beat people on their turf, was taken down by Hastings, which was really satisfying.
With a sour expression, Fatty walked up to Ann Lei and Margaret, who were biting their lips and looking at each other grim-faced, and leaned over the white wooden fence, bitterly saying, "Is it very funny?"
With a burst, the two girls erupted in a silvery laughter. Ann Lei wrapped her arm around Fatty's, burying her face in his shoulder, trembling all over. Margaret, meanwhile, covered her mouth and upturned nose with one hand and her belly with the other, leaning against Fatty.
