"Was he angry with all of you?" "Oh, yes sulky, you know." "This morning?" "Oh, no. He got over it he generally does. He's just like a child. That's really it, Tony; he's like a child in some ways.
The marquis rejoined the little company of his own friends who had left the bowling-green after him, and were now in the oak parlour.
