"Tell me about the details; I'm Mr. Forbe's niece." Bernice was always a little jealous if the D's seemed to be consulted rather than herself or Alicia. "Oh, no details specially. All informal, you know. Come when you like, nine, maybe, or half past. If you're feeling conventional about it, my mother will call on you by telephone and ask you proper."
Coriell until the others were tired of the subject. And even when the D's were nearly ready for bed, and, in kimonos, were brushing their hair, Alicia burst into their room, exclaiming, "I've the grandest plan! I'm going to invite Mr. Coriell to come here and call on me!" "Alicia Steele!" Dotty cried, "you're not going to do any such thing!" "Yes, I am.
His thirty years in Holy Orders had slightly hardened an originally luscious Dublin brogue, but there remained a certain gentle aspiration of the d's and t's, and a tendency to omit the labial consonants altogether. At intervals he allowed himself to be interrupted with a hymn, but resumed afterwards the steady flow of supplication.
Everyone knows that the Arabic abounds in d's, and perhaps the philologists are right in calling it the most ancient of languages, since the a is the most natural and easy to pronounce of all the letters.
"That isn't fair!" and Dolly sprang out of bed; "we told Sarah she could go. Tie up my hair, please, Dotty, I want to go down and tell Mrs. Norris all about it." But as it turned out, Mrs. Norris was so glad and happy that little Gladys was safe, that she wouldn't allow the two D's to be blamed at all.
Very lovely she looked, her golden curls twisted up high on her head, and held by a bandeau of blue ribbon. Dotty's dress was yellow, and very becoming. She wore a black velvet headband, and Alicia cried out in approval when she saw the two D's ready for inspection. "My!" she said, "you look better than I do! Now, I am mad!"
The game caused great laughter and sport, and the city young people declared they enjoyed it quite as much as dancing. Then the feast was served, and very beautiful and elaborate it was. The celebration, Mr. Forbes had said, was to be especially for the two D's, as it was Dotty's choice, and Dolly's choice of a visit to the museum provided little opportunity for gaiety.
Before daylight next morning Tim left with his disconsolate captive, who wore handcuffs and was manacled to the "D's" in the saddle of the horse which he bestrode manifestly ill at case.
From General Warren we have a letter dated January 14, 1775, only a few months before he attested the sincerity of his patriotism, in his own blood, on Bunker Hill. His handwriting has many ungraceful flourishes. All the small d's spout upward in parabolic curves, and descend at a considerable distance.
D's had the merit of originality, and it is not improbable that the utter disbelief in supernatural appearances, which is common to most native-born Canadians, is the result of the same very reasonable mode of arguing.
