Introduced you to any more of his relations?" "Oh, yes an uncle; quite an old bachelor, but lovely too!" "And I suppose you've been round with the uncle as well." "Not very much. He was to have taken me up in the balloon yesterday, but the cyclone burst it." "We're going home now, and I think you'd better say 'Good-night' to Mr. Tom Axworthy and come with us."
