Clinton of Kencote, J.P., D.L., was so put out that he wouldn't kneel down to say his prayers." "Annoyed, eh?" said Walter. "Yes," said Joan, "but he's all right now, Walter. Aunt Grace came to lunch, and beat Bogey." "What!" "It's only her new trick," said Nancy. "She'll get tired of it. She means put him in a good humour." "Really, you twankies do pick up some language.
"We'll go to Blackborough Castle," said Dick, "and take the twankies. We must give them a little fun. Siskin, how about a picnic?" Mrs. Birket was telling Mrs. Clinton that Beatrice's engagement would be announced when they returned to London. "She is young," she said, "but both the girls are older in mind than in age." "You have educated them well," Mrs. Clinton said.
Clinton of your disgraceful behaviour I am quite ashamed of you running off like that which you know you are not allowed to do you are very naughty girls and I am seriously displeased with you." "Ellen Bird," said Walter, "don't try and put it on to the twankies. I looked out of the carriage window and saw you sprinting along the station road yourself.
The twins they were called "the twankies" by their brothers went off after tea in the schoolroom to see the young pheasants with their father. They were lively and talkative, and the Squire laughed at them several times, as good-humoured men do laugh at the prattle of innocent childhood.
Then there's nothing much to fear, what?" "No, we are all coming to live at Melbury Park, and Aunt Grace is going to take in our washing." "Oh, that's the line taken, is it?" said Walter. "Well, I dare say it's all very funny, but I can't have you twankies giving yourselves airs, you know. I don't know why they talk over things before you.
"So have donkeys, and they get them pinched if they're not careful," retorted Walter. "How are you getting on with your lessons, twankies?" "I believe our progress is quite satisfactory, thank you, Dr. Clinton," replied Joan. "Perhaps you would like to hear us a few dates, so that our afternoon walk may not pass entirely unimproved." "You had much better look at Joan's tongue," said Nancy.
"He saw her in the shrubbery. Want a drive round to the stables, twankies?" Now the twins devoured Mackenzie with all their eyes. "I am Joan Clinton, and this is my sister Nancy," said Joan. "Nobody ever introduces us to anybody that comes here, so we always introduce ourselves. How do you do?" Mackenzie seemed to wake up. He shook hands with both twins.
You have had a little race and are annoyed at being beaten. I shall put you up in the cart and send you home, and I will walk back with the twankies." And in spite of Miss Bird's almost frenzied remonstrances, up into the cart she was helped, and driven off at a smart pace, with cheers from the twins, now entirely beyond her control.
"Starling said last night that her stomach was a little out of order, and we rebuked her for her vulgarity." "You are a record pair, you two," said Walter, looking at them with unwilling admiration. "I don't believe any of us led that poor old woman the dance that you do. Do you want some jumbles, twankies?" "Ra-ther," said the twins with one voice, and they turned into the village shop.
