Chapter 2

"Our absence from dinner had been noticed" (14). Mr. Prud'homme showed up at our door to talk to us about our absense. Once again Phineas got us out of trouble with his brilliance. I am slightly envious of his skill to relieve himslef and others of troubles they find themselves in. Finny decided to wear a pink shirt. I told him "It makes you look like a fairy"(17)! I slightly envied him for being able to get away with this celebration. I couldn't believe that Finny got away with wearing a school tie as a belt he really has a talent for getting away with things. Mr. Patch-Withers even laughed which is a very rare encounter. Later we left and went to the river to swim the party was hot and boring. We both got on the limb and i almost fell but Finny saved me! if he had not been their I could ghave died. I thought about it later after diner "i could have fallen on the bank and broken my back" (24)! Sometimes i realize how good of a friend Finny is.
