Mrs. Cricklander went on, turning to Lady Maulevrier.
"Did I have that kind of an ancestor?" asked Lydia with interest. "Isn't it too bad that we Americans don't know anything about our forebears. I wonder what the old duck would say if he could see me!" It was the rainiest Fall within Lydia's recollection.
