That way of Lord Fordham's, high-breeding I suppose you call it, just makes me wild. I hate it!" "Poor Ellie. You'll have to get over it, for Essie's sake." "No, I shan't.

"My dear, this is a pleasure at last; I have so much to say to you. Can't you give us a day?" "I am going to town to-morrow," said Elvira, never gracious to any Gould. "To-morrow! I heard the family had put off their migration." "I go with Lucas. I am to stay with Mrs, Evelyn, Lord Fordham's mother, you know, who is to present me at the Drawing-room," said Elvira, magnificently.
Could Armine or any of them show me the way to his room? for I should like to know how the boy really is." "I doubt if Armine knows which is his room. I had better show you, for he is not unlikely to be lying down in Fordham's sitting-room. Otherwise you must prepare for many stairs.

The boys had listened to all that was said, and now they lost no time in filing into Mr. Fordham's bedroom. Job Haskers stared at them in amazement, and his face dropped in consternation. "Porter!" he gasped. "And Morr and Lawrence! Wha what does this er mean?" "Perhaps you know as well as we do," answered Dave, sharply. "You have been spying on me!" "We are here by permission of Mr.
