"You can't do it," answered Phil firmly. Nevertheless the effort was made, Teddy watching the attempts with lazy interest. "No, we shan't be able to reach him that way," agreed Mr. Sparling finally. "Hey down there," called Teddy. "Well, what is it? Got something to suggest?" "Maybe maybe if you'd throw some peanuts and candy in my cage I might come down." This brought a howl of laughter.
He hurried me off to my room, as he called it, and it was so grand that I crept about it on tiptoe for fear of damaging something. "I declared you'd pine and get thin," he said, "and she vowed you'd get lazy and fat." I felt very doltish and unready as I followed him to the drawing-room.

I am tired as a ballet dancer after five acts and eight tableaux. Dinners, letters which I am too lazy to answer, conversations and imbecilities of all sorts. I have to go immediately to dine in Vassilyevsky Ostrov, and I am bored and ought to work.
