`` But what in the world do you two boys want with a cow , and have you got the money ? '' he demanded . We told him how much money we had , and how we got it , and that we were going to give a present , a surprise , to Mother Barberin of Chavanon , who had looked after me when I was a baby . He showed a very kindly interest then , and promised to meet us the next morning at the fair at seven o'clock . When we asked him his charges he refused flatly to accept anything . He sent us off laughing and told us to be at the fair on time . The next day at daybreak the town was full of excitement .
