The most remarkable thing about Button-Bright was that he was always quiet and composed, whatever happened, and nothing was ever able to astonish him.
Trot liked him because he was not rude and never tried to plague her.
Cap'n Bill liked him because he had found the boy cheerful and brave at all times, and willing to do anything he was asked to do.
When they came to the house Trot sniffed the air and asked "Don't I smell perfume ?" "I think you do," said the Bumpy Man.

"You smell violets, and that proves there is a breeze springing up from the south.

All our winds and breezes are perfumed and for that reason we are glad to have them blow in our direction.

The south breeze always has a violet odor; the north breeze has the fragrance of wild roses; the east breeze is perfumed with lilies-of-the-valley and the west wind with lilac blossoms.

So we need no weathervane to tell us which way the wind is blowing.
