From a far-off nook of the sprawling old house came the pling-plang of the boy's banjo. "Margaret?" "Yes, dear." "What did you say to her?" She began to fold the newspaper. "I didn't say anything. She wouldn't permit me." "What do you think?" "That she will do as she pleases." "Consoling, by the consoling, I must say. But I tell you she won't. I will shame her out of it."
From a distant room came the pling-plang of a banjo. "There's Tom, Margaret. Will you please tell him to come here? I don't want to see him in the light." Mrs. Cranceford hastened to obey, and the Major sat listening. He pushed his chair back out of the patch of light. The banjo hushed its twanging, and then he heard Tom coming. The young man stepped out upon the porch.
