He was cheered, and a basket of fresh broccoli was thrust upon him, which he in turn thrust upon Sheridan (who was already burdened with the Tree of Broccoli, two bouquets, three copies of the Book of Broccoli, a miniature replica of the just-unveiled coat of arms, and a struggling tortoise which had been entrusted to him by a bystander who had recovered it after the owner fell to fighting with another child). [NoP Ch10]
