The good clergyman was droning, fans and silken skirts were rustling, eyes challenging.
The Baroness by this time was an old inhabitant; the best society in Boston had called upon her, and Clifford Wentworth had taken her several times to drive in his buggy. Robert Acton was seated near her, playing with a fan; there were always several fans lying about her drawing-room, with long ribbons of different colors attached to them, and Acton was always playing with one.
Anyhow the Ajumba loudly declared the Fans were "bad men too much," which was impolitic under existing circumstances, and inexcusable, because it by no means arose from a courageous defiance of them; but the West African! Well! "'E's a devil an' a ostrich an' a orphan child in one."
For there is war in Notting Hill." The little toy-shop keeper sprang up suddenly, slapping his fat hands like two fans on the counter. "War?" he cried. "Not really, sir? Is it true? Oh, what a joke!

"Hard luck," muttered the standing Gardiner fans, waiting to give their final cheer of victory.
