Besides, we meant to put all the things back in their proper places when we had done with them before anyone found out about it. We are the Bastables Oswald, Dora, Dicky, Alice, Noel, and H. O. If you want to know why we call our youngest brother H. O. you can jolly well read The Treasure Seekers and find out.
And he says us Bastables have certainly taught Daisy and Denny the rudiments of the art of making home happy. I believe they have thought of several quite new naughty things entirely on their own and done them too since they came back from the Moat House. I wish you didn't grow up so quickly.
He covered his writing up when we went in I didn't know why. He looked rather cross, and we heard Jane or somebody being scolded outside by the voice. I hope it wasn't for letting us in, but I have had doubts. 'Well, said the clergyman, 'what is all this about? 'You asked us to call, Dora said, 'about your little Sunday school. We are the Bastables of Lewisham Road.
We're really the Bastables, and we want to get some money for some one we know that's rather poor of course I can't tell you her name. And we've learnt how to tell fortunes really we have. Do you think they'll let us tell them at the fête. People are often dull at fêtes, aren't they?" "By Jove!" said the gentleman again "by Jove, they are!" He plunged for a moment in deep reflection.
Our ancestral home is in the Lewisham Road. It is semi-detached and has a garden, not a large one. We are the Bastables. There are six of us besides Father. Our Mother is dead, and if you think we don't care because I don't tell you much about her you only show that you do not understand people at all. Dora is the eldest. Then Oswald and then Dicky.
He didn't grouse, and he was a poet, like you! Now look here, let's be game. Dora, you're the eldest. Strike up any tune. We'll march up, and show this sneak we Bastables aren't afraid, whoever else is." You will perhaps find it difficult to believe, but we did strike up. We sang "The British Grenadiers," and when the Police told us to stow it we did not. And Noël said
The others turned on him, full of reproaches about the meal-worms and Dora, but he answered without anger. 'Shut up, he said in a whisper of imperial command. 'Can't you see it's GONE TO SLEEP? As exhausted as if they had all taken part in all the events of a very long Athletic Sports, the youthful Bastables and their friends dragged their weary limbs back across the fields.
Let's all sit down in a comfy heap, and get our breaths again. I am so glad to see you all. My husband met your father at lunch the other day. I meant to come over and see you to-morrow." You cannot imagine the feelings of joy and safeness that we felt now we had found someone who knew we were Bastables, and not vagrant outcasts like the Police thought. The door had now been answered.
