Robert, and when he's had the full situation mapped out for him blamed if he don't begin to take it serious too. "To be sure, Ferdie," says he. "Everyone seems to think he must be a guest of yours; but as he isn't well, it's quite time someone discovered. Let's go over and introduce ourselves." And somehow that didn't listen good to me, either.
"But but there's Baby's milk," objects Ferdie. "Marjorie always watches the nurse sterilize it, you know." "Do up a gallon before you leave," says I. "It's such a puzzling place to get to, though," says Ferdie. "I'm sure we'd never get on the right train." "Whadye mean, train," says I. "Ah, show some class! Go in your limousine." "So we could," says Ferdie.
I trust, however, that this concludes the performance." It did not! Next on the card was a onestep, with Marjorie and her unknown goin' to it like professionals; and if they omitted any fancy waves, you couldn't prove it by me. By this time too, Ferdie was sittin' up and takin' notice. "Oh, I say," says he, "isn't that the same fellow she danced with before?"
Vera had never forgotten and never would forget what Anthony and Frances had done for her and Ferdie when they took Veronica. She wanted to make up, to pay back, to help their children as they had helped her child; to give the best she had, and do what they, poor darlings, couldn't possibly have done. Nicholas was all right; but Michael's case was lamentable.
Surprisin' how cheerful I could be so long as it was a case of Miss Pulsifer's young man. I pumps the whole tale out of Ferdie, how this Mr. Bert Gilkey cute name too had been writin' her letters all the time from out West, how he'd been seized with a sudden fit, wired on that he must see her once more, and had rushed East.
But he don't have time to glance back; for we was zigzaggin' up the Sound, dodgin' steamers and motor-boats and other yachts, and he was keepin' both eyes peeled. Every now and then too something had to be done in a hurry. "Ready about!" he'd call. "Now! Hard alee! Leggo that jib sheet you, Ferdie. Slack it off. Now trim in on the other side. Flatter. Oh, haul it home!"
"I'm sure I don't know what that means," says she; "but I am quite ready to try." "Oh, let's!" says Vee, clappin' her hands. "I can help." "And Ferdie is a splendid sailor," chimes in. Marjorie. "He's crossed a dozen times." "Then we're off," says Mr. Robert. And inside of ten minutes the club launch has landed us, bag and baggage, on the Pyxie.
You were saying ?" Francis Charles brought his chair to level and spoke with great feeling: "As our host, to whom our bright young lives have been entrusted for a time standing to us, as you do, almost as a locoed parent I put it to you " "Shut up!" roared Ferdie. "Thompson, you see this this object? You hear it? Mustn't it go to work?" "Ab-so-lutissimusly!"
And right on schedule we makes a nine-thirty getaway three machines in all; for, while Marjorie had thrown seventeen cat fits when she first heard that Brother Robert had renigged, she shows up with Ferdie at the last minute. Catch her missin' out on any kind of a weddin'! "But just where, Robert," she demands, "is this absurd affair to take place?" "Haven't the least idea," says he. "Ask Torchy."
Just the' same, I don't know where there's another girl that could dress for the big event in less'n half an hour, while the guests was arrivin'. Next came Mr. Robert's sister, Marjorie, towin' her Ferdie along. Aunt Zenobia and my Uncle Kyrle and Aunt Martha breezed in soon after, with Old Hickory and Mrs. Ellins right behind 'em.
