Carey did so, and Beatrice and Frederick were left alone, but not long, for Uncle Roger presently came into the yard with Willy and Arthur running after him. To take possession of his horse and carriage, in his very sight, without permission, was quite impossible, and, besides, Beatrice knew full well that her dexterity could obtain a sanction from him which might be made to parry all blame.
"We'd made up our minds to hate you because you were taking our little Roger from us, and at first we thought we were right to hate you because you were so aggressive to us, but you've deceived us. We don't hate you. We like you, Rachel!" "Do you, Gilbert?" She turned to Ninian and Henry. "Do you like me, too?" she said. "I shouldn't mind marrying you myself," Ninian replied.
"You know, Roger, Graham's fearfully taken with that girl of yours," Marjory told him calmly. "He gave me no peace until I brought him over. Who is she? You don't mean it? A nurse!

"I suppose we can get another housekeeper," Henry suggested. "Yes, we could do that," said Gilbert.
With such a head to an establishment, you may judge what the members may become." "I remember an amusing experience my brother-in-law, Roger Percivale, once had of your household," I said.
