Grace was abroad or she never would have allowed it. He just weakened his constitution until he was ready to take any disease that happened to be floating around." It was a great relief to Dodo's pent-up feelings to talk and he now poured out his troubles to listening, sympathetic Molly. "Grace and I don't know what he wanted to use the money for " "Maybe it was for the opera."
The Ticket-clerk, who could only see the top of the Dodo's head, very naturally mistook him for an old gentleman without his hat, and inquired, politely, "What class, Sir?" This was a puzzler, and the Dodo went back to Dick and told him that the gentleman in the office wanted to know what class they were in. "What does he mean?" asked Dick.
"Oh, it's all right; the gentleman up-stairs said there was no charge for birds," explained the Dodo, importantly, thinking that the man was inquiring about his ticket. "H'm! sort of a big parrot, I suppose, Sir?" said the Guard, addressing Dick, and not taking the slightest notice of the Dodo's remark. "Parrot, indeed!" shouted the bird, indignantly.
This operation over, he shook his head gravely, and demanded to see the Dodo's tongue. "Oh! I couldn't!" simpered the bird; "I really couldn't; it's so rude to put out one's tongue, you know." A little persuasion, however, on the part of the Doctor prevailed upon him to open his enormous beak, and the examination was proceeded with.
Some people were even amused at seeing the tiny animal jump from Dodo's lap on to the table, and pick out the best grapes in an old-fashioned centre-piece. On the last fatal day, however, Lady Dauntrey's nerves had been rasped by the loss of her fifth cook.
Burdened with the guilty consciousness of the sequestered tarts, and fearing that Dodo's sharp eyes would pierce the thin disguise of cambric and merino which hid their booty, the little sinners attached themselves to 'Dranpa', who hadn't his spectacles on. Amy, who was handed about like refreshments, returned to the parlor on Father Laurence's arm.
"What!" cried the Dodo, indignantly, "travel without my gloves! Never! It wouldn't be respectable. I shouldn't think of doing such a thing!" "Oh, well, come, on then; let's try this way," said Dick, putting his arm under one of the Dodo's wings, while Marjorie did the same to the other. "Now then one two three."
If the Dodo were only a gregarious bird if he had only some confused idea of making a comfortable nest I could hope to get through the hours between this and bed-time, without being consumed by devouring melancholy. But, the Dodo's habits are all wrong.
On the top of the umbrella were a number of curious signs, of which the children could not possibly imagine the meaning. "Obbly bobblee wallee bobbel ob," said the Ambassador, bowing three times, and dragging the Dodo's head down with him each time. "Flop!" replied the Little Panjandrum, and the two musicians fell on their faces. "Um sopelee gumbos galapaloo glab," remarked the Ambassador.
"Oh, it must have been perfectly dreadful, Grace," said Mollie, sympathetically. "Perfectly terrible!" "It was! And are you sure you don't feel resentful toward me?" "The idea! Certainly not. It was poor Dodo's fault, in a way; but I blame those motorists more than anyone else. They should be found." "They certainly made a lot of trouble," admitted Grace. "But I would rather find Prince than them.
