Hamilton-Wells would prefer to order the punishment himself for so serious an offence. Angelica shook her hair over her face, and made sufficient feint of resistance to tumble her frock on the way, while Diavolo pretended to be terror-stricken; but this was only to please Mr. Ellis with the delusion that fear of their father gave him a moral hold over them, for the moment Mr.
"Is there a creeper outside the window?" he pursued. "No, creepers won't grow because a big lime tree hangs it." The children exchanged glances.
