Randolph. He was several months learning that. He knew 'Annie Laurie' when he came, and Mr. Gillespie taught him 'Auld Lang Syne." "The bird had finished his little feast and stood nonchalantly preening his feathers. "Caruso!" The mocker lifted his head and gave a short whistle. Then he went on with his interrupted toilet. Nelson Randolph laughed softly. "Caruso!" began Doodles again. "Caruso!"
Well, we ought to go to sleep, but seems if I'd never catch another wink. I wonder what became of Wunny! Last I saw him he was lyin' flat on the ground thinkin' he was et up, I guess. Dolly My heart! Dolly Doodles is asleep a'ready. Did you ever see such a sleepy head, Nell?" There was no answer from the room across the hall, so Alfy curled down among her pillows and composed herself to sleep.
Then she shook hands, first with Archie, and then with Doodles, and asked the latter why he was not as yet gone to Warwickshire. Archie, in almost mortal fear, looked up into his brother's face. Had his brother learned the story of that seventy pounds?
If you'd kept on going yourself she'd have drained you as dry as dry as that table. There's your thirty pounds back, and, upon my word, old fellow, you ought to thank me." Archie did thank him, and Doodles was not without his triumph.
Randolph had also risen, and he smiled down into the upturned face. "It will have to be referred to the Committee on Applications, but I will see that it is put through as quickly as possible." Doodles decided to see Miss Lily before going home, so it was still early afternoon when he entered the little house on North Charles Street. "Why, you dear boy!" The little lady had him in her arms.
Then Colonel Schmoff bowed, never yet having spoken a word in Harry's hearing, and our friend Doodles with glib volubility told Harry how intimate he was with Archie, and how he knew Sir Hugh, and how he had met Lady Clavering, and how "doosed" glad he was to meet Harry himself on this present occasion. "And now, my boys, we'll set down," said the count.
"Somebody going to the Flemings'," remarked Doodles carelessly. "No, it's coming here!" returned Polly. The lights blazed toward them. They waited, and a man stepped out. "Mr. Randolph!" breathed Polly, as he emerged from the shadows. "I feel somewhat like an intruder," said the president, as he grasped the hand of Doodles. "When Colonel Gresham invited me I told him my coming was impossible.
"I doubt if any such thing ever occurred to Polly and Doodles," interposed Miss Sterling. "They were thinking only of giving Miss Lily a pleasant birthday. I am glad she had so many presents." "Well, Mr. Randolph meant she should have enough candy for once, didn't he? A five-pound box certainly! If she eats it all herself, it'll make her sick!
"Oh, yes; I've seen her," said Doodles, seating himself on an exalted bench which ran round the room, while Archie, with anxious eyes, stood before him. "Well?" said Archie. "She's a rum 'un. Thank 'ee, Griggs; you always stand to me like a brick." This was said to a young lieutenant who had failed to hit the captain's ball, and now tendered him a shilling with a very bitter look.
Sly nudges and subdued chuckles were all that the most reckless indulged in under the shadows of the church. At the foot of the steps stood a slender, whitehaired woman with stooping shoulders. She scanned each face as it emerged from the dim passageway, and her own grew a bit anxious as the boys passed. Then it suddenly brightened with recognition. Doodles had appeared.
