Why, you mayn't think it, but I'm grown up, Francis! I'm about twenty years older than that foolish little girl you married.
"As your daughter's fiancé, I think you might ask me to dine. I'll be so awfully good if you will. I say, Peggy, ask Mummy to invite me to dinner to-night, and I'll come and say good-night to you in bed." "Oh, yes!" cried Peggy, jumping with eagerness. "He may come, mayn't he, Mummy?

I'll bring Jonah and Daphne." "Mayn't I see the mistake?" "If I can find him." "Good-bye" "Good-bye. I say " She turned, one small foot on the steps. "I love your feet," I said. "Anything else?"

The innocent request was underlined by an unmistakable glance through her lashes at Joe. She wanted him to hear; and she didn't care if he understood him and his beaky mother! Clearly her own Mummy understood.
"Why? Why should you care about me?" "I don't," she said, simply; "at least, I don't know that I do." "Oh, then you're helping me just on general principles?" "Quite so."
