"We haven't had it since the Fultons went away." "Too few of us," said King; "we four, that's all." "We might ask Delight to belong," said Marjorie, "she can cut up jinks when she feels like it." "All right, do;" said King, "let's have Flossy Flouncy; and I'll ask Flip Henderson, he's heaps of fun. Then we'll have six, just like we had before."
He could speak French, too, Miss Flouncy found, who was studying it under Mademoiselle Grande fille-de-chambre de confiance; for when she said to him, "Polly voo Fransy, Munseer Jeames?" he replied readily, "We, Mademaselle, j'ay passay boco de tong a Parry. Commong voo potty voo?"
"That's the Continental custom, my dear," Miss Daphne murmured. "Oh, dear, I wish they'd do it here still," Kit said. "It makes one think of powdered hair and lovely, flouncy hoop skirts. I'm going to practice it when I get home." It was not until they took the through train from Washington for New London that Kit relaxed.
"I think," she said, slowly, "it is probably Arabella or Araminta." "'Way off," said her father; "you're no good at guessing. Kitty, what do you say?" "It ought to be Seraphina," said Kitty, promptly. "She looks like a wax doll." "Wrong again! King, want to guess?" "'Course I do. I think her name is Flossy Flouncy. She looks so dressy and gay."
Inside was written: "Flossy Flouncy, fair and fine, Let me be your Valentine. Here's my heart laid at your feet, Flossy Flouncy, fair and sweet." "I know King wrote that!" cried Midget; "he always calls you Flossy Flouncy. You don't mind, do you?" "No, indeed! I think it's fun. I'm going to call him Old King Cole. That is, if I ever see him again." "Oh, pshaw!
If she continues to live here, she can't help doing as you young Romans do, after a time." "Ho!" cried King. "Imagine Flossy Flouncy tumbling around like our Midget. Hi, there, sister, you're it!" King clapped Marjorie on the back and then ran around the dining-table, from which they had all just risen. "Kit's it!" cried Marjorie, clapping Kitty in turn.
How Miss Flouncy admired him as he stood before her, the day after he had saved Miss Amethyst when the horses had run away with her in the Park! Poor Flouncy, poor Flouncy! Jeames had been but a week in Amethyst's service, and already the gentle heart of the washing-girl was irrecoverably gone! Poor Flouncy! Poor Flouncy! he thought not of thee. It happened thus.
But Delight shrank away from the frolic, and asked to be allowed to look on. "No, indeed, Flossy Flouncy!" cried Harry Frost. "You must play our games, if you want us to like you. Come on, we won't hurt you." "Come on in, the water's fine!" called King, and Delight reluctantly took the place assigned her.
Say, King, do you believe Delight will go with us?" "Don't know and don't care. She's a Flossy Flouncy, anyway. Too dressy and fiddle-de-dee for me!" "Oh, you don't know her. I think she's going to be real nice." "All right. You can have her. Hi! there's Bunny Black; let's run." Run they did, and Marjorie flew over the ground quite as fast as Kingdon did. "Hey, Bunny, wait a minute!"
"Look here, Flossy Flouncy," he said, not unkindly, "you've been Fox long enough; now I'll be Fox, and you sit down on the sofa and get rested." Delight looked at him gratefully, and without a word she went and sat on the sofa and Miss Adams came and sat by her and put her arm round the trembling child. Soon after this, the game was stopped because supper was announced.
