And when Mrs. Brandeis came up he said something about the wit of these American women. `Work is a great sharpener of wit and wits, Mrs.
Then he laughed, and I joined him, though my laughter resembled mirth less than it did the cackle of a hen which was disturbed over the future of her brood. I left him and went down into the wine room and ordered a stiff brandy and soda. When that disappeared I ordered another. I rattled the ice in the glass. "Ha, ha, ha!" I roared, as the events of the past twenty-four hours recurred to me.
"Pardoned? My boy, if I had an army I would make you a general!" roared the prince. "Come along, Josef. And you, Arnheim! You troopers, out of here, every one of you, and leave these two young persons alone!" And out of the various doors the little company departed, leaving the princess and Max alone. Ah, how everything was changed! thought Max, as he let down his sleeve and buttoned his cuff.
And over their tales and their nuts they laughed till they cried, and roared so lustily at the remembered frolics of their youthful days that the old parsonage rang, the books on the library shelves rattled and several of the theological volumes actually gaped with horror.
"Y'ought to get out printed instructions for 'em before you turn 'em loose!" he snapped. Carruthers' face was red with mortification. There was a grin, expanded, on the faces of the others. "Stand away from that bed!" roared Clayton at Jimmie Dale. "And if you go near it again, I'll throw you out of here bodily!"
"Captain Haley," he said, not stirring from his position, "I hope you will excuse me." "Is this mutiny?" roared the captain. "No, Captain Haley. I always mean to do my duty on board ship." "I have told you to flog this boy!" "I can't do it, Captain Haley. I have a boy of my own about the size of that lad there, and, if I struck him, I'd think it was my own boy that stood in his place."
"Ay, marry would I," quoth the Tanner, giving him another thwack with his staff. "Stop!" roared Little John. "Help! Hold, I say! I yield me! I yield me, I say, good fellow!" "Hast thou had enough?" asked the Tanner grimly, holding his staff aloft. "Ay, marry, and more than enough." "And thou dost own that I am the better man of the two?"
The sheepmen laughed. "I I looked around, and there there stood a lot of Indians " "On their heads!" asked Ned. "No, sitting on their ponies. Then then I " "Then you pitched into them and drove them away," laughed Walter. "No, I didn't. I yelled and run away. So would you." Every man and boy of the sheep outfit roared with laughter. "My boy," said Mr.
"But you won't tell about the needlework. Oh, I say, but that's jolly! Fancy what you said when you began to get those beastly things!" And he laughed again. "I didn't say anything," I said. Then he roared. Yet he claimed to be a "typical Britisher." "We mean kindly," he went on. "You mustn't lay it up against us." "Oh, we don't. We are having a lovely time."
"But both of you know how to act, so I'll soon retire." And a few moments later I went out leaving both men together. The train roared into a long tunnel and then out again across many high embankments and over bridges. Rain was falling in torrents and lashed the windows as we sped due south on our way to Dijon. At last I knew the cause and motive of the old financier's fainting fit.
