But from her it came so naturally that Merryon scarcely noticed it. He had been "Billikins" to her throughout the brief three months that had elapsed since their marriage.

Puck was sobbing a little and smiling at the same time. "Your love is the safety-curtain, Billikins darling," she whispered, softly. "And I'm going to thank God for it every day of my life." "My darling!" he said. "My wife!" Her eyes shone up to his through tears. "Oh, do you realize," she said," that we have risen from the dead?" The Experiment "I really don't know why I accepted him.
"Are you still being cross with Billikins?" she asked him, while her hand lay engagingly in his. "Because it's really not his fault, you know. If he sent me to Kamchatka, I should still come back." "You wouldn't if you belonged to me," said Colonel Davenant, with a grudging smile. She laughed and shook her head. "Perhaps I shouldn't not unless I loved you as dearly as I love Billikins.
But, all the same, Felix Brand is perfectly lovely, and you think so too, now, don't you, mother dear!" "We all think alike about Mr. Brand, I'm sure," she answered. "Except Billikins," amended Henrietta, and then told them of the fox terrier's disgraceful behavior.

You were floundering! But I've pulled you out of it and dragged you up the bank a bit. You don't get sniffed at anything like you used, do you, Billikins? But I daren't leave you yet I honestly daren't.
"But you'll have to be awfully patient with me, because because " She paused, agitatedly; then went yet a little nearer to him. "You will be kind to me, won't you?" she pleaded.

It was a tacit invitation.
"Billikins," she said, "let me stay down for a little!" Her lips were quivering. She kicked his chair agitatedly. "I don't want to go," she said, dismally. "Let me stay anyhow till I get ill!" "No," Merryon said. "It can't be done, child. I can't risk that. Besides, there'd be no one to look after you." She slipped to her feet in a flare of indignation. "You're a pig, Billikins!
And we can hope, Bella, that he'll be young and tall and handsome and inclined to be flirtatious with good-looking maids who sometimes work in front door-yards nearby. Why, here's Billikins! You naughty doggie, where have you been?" A white fox terrier had bounded into the room and was giving her exuberant greeting, having stopped first to drop at her feet a rag-doll that he carried in his mouth.
Oh, yes, the khit will take care of me, Mr. Harley. He's such a brave man. He kills snakes without the smallest change of countenance. Good-night, Billikins! Take care of yourself. I suppose you'll come back sometime?"
