"Indeed," said Babie, almost piteously, "I meant it for the most glorious possible praise; but somehow people always seem to take me for a little hard bit of spar, a barbarian, or a baby; I wish I had a more sensible name!" "Infanta, his princess, is what Duke always calls you," said Sydney, drawing her fondly to nestle close to her on the bed in her fire-lit room.
"So angry at the folly of passing over Babie, that I was forced to give her a hint to be silent before Duke. She collapsed, much impressed. Forgive me, if it was a betrayal; but she is two years older now, and would not have been a safe companion unless warned. Hark! Is that the door-bell?"
They had absolutely implored not to be sent home in the carriage, but to walk across the park in the moonlight; and it was such a lovely night that when Bobus and Jock took up their hats to come with them, Babie begged to go too, and the same desire strongly possessed her mother, above all when John said, "Do come, Mother Carey;" and "rowed her in a plaidie."
"You'll tell his uncle? He insisted- he had some impression that they were very naughty boys, whom I could not cope with, poor little fellows." "I can decidedly say he is learning more from you than he would in school among those with whom, at his age, I must place him." "Thank you, thank you. Then Babie won't lose her companion.
"Oh, we'll get up Madame Tussaud for her at home, free gratis, for nothing at all!" cried Armine, whose hard work inspirited him to fun and frolic. So in the twilight hour two days later there was a grand exhibition of human waxworks, in which Babie explained tableaux represented by the two Johns, Armine, and Cecil, supposed to be adapted to Lina's capacity.
Allen's there. He'll take care of you." "I want to give Mother Carey those dear white flowers," still entreated Babie. "I'll give them, my dear. They want you down there- Ellie and Esther." "I don't want to play with Ellie and Essie," sturdily declared Barbara. "They say it is telling falsehoods when one wants to play at anything." "They don't understand pretending," said Armine.
"MY DEAREST BABIE, I have left you too long without tidings, but I have had little time, and no heart to write, and I could not bear to send such news without details. Of the ten terrible days at Abville I may, if I can, tell you when we meet.
They've tried it at the Jardin d'Acclimatisation." "Oh, that was only Frenchmen. A zebra is too jolly to let himself be tamed by a Frenchman. I'll break one in myself and go out with the hounds upon him." "Jack-ass on striped-ass- or off him," muttered Bobus. "Oh! don't, Jock," implored Babie, "you'll get thrown." "No such thing. You'll come to the meet yourself, Babie, on your Arab."
I am that Rocinante fa , Great-grandson of great Babie , Who, all for being lean and bon , Had one Don Quixote for an own ; But if I matched him well in weak , I never took short commons meek , But kept myself in corn by steal , A trick I learned from Lazaril , When with a piece of straw so neat The blind man of his wine he cheat . ORLANDO FURIOSO To Don Quixote of La Mancha
"And that?" said Babie. "To be content to be faithful servant as well as faithful soldier," said Armine, thoughtfully. "But what had it to do with the harvest?"
