After all, don't-cher-know, you only want very little accommodation for a couple of hundred yokels; and whether it's old or new architecture doesn't matter to 'em a brass farthing!" These observations were made with a rambling air of vague self- assertiveness which the speaker evidently fancied would pass for wit and wisdom. Walden said nothing.
"Always!" declared that gentleman pleasantly. "Really it's half the fun!" "Positively it is, don't-cher-know!" and his lordship played again with his enamelled pig "But it's not our fault. If things will get into our way, we can't wait till they get out. We're bound to ride over them. Do you remember that old hen, Brookie?" Brookfield spluttered into a laugh, and nodded in the affirmative.
"Awful fun having a friend on the press, don't-cher-know!" he went on. "I get all my lady acquaintances into the papers, makes 'em famous in a day! The women I like are made to look beautiful, and those I don't like are turned into frights positive old horrors, give you my life! Easily done, you know! touch up a negative whichever way you fancy, and there you are!"
Awful luck for us, the motor breaking down, or we never should have stopped at such a jolly place, don't-cher-know. Should we, Brookfield?" Brookfield, gently scratching a pimple on his fat, clean-shaven face, smiled knowingly. "Couldn't have stopped!" he declared. "We were doing a record run. But we should have missed a great deal, a great deal!" And he emitted a soft chuckle.

The mother of the girls hesitated a moment. She was not quite sure that she liked the "tone" of his lordship's speech. Finally she replied somewhat stiffly:
She stared at the forest of chimney-tops without speaking, for several minutes, then suddenly turned towards him, speaking in what was evidently supposed to be a lifelike imitation of the English accent, as spoken by the Lady of the Manor. "Th-anks; aw-fly tha-anks! How varry kind! I shall be charmed. ... Too aw-fly sweet of you, don't-cher-know!" "That's all right!" laughed Guest, happily.
