"Well, don't be gone over an hour, children," said Curly. "Cards don't draw me like a good gab round the fire. And Diana's our best gabber." "An hour's the bargain then," said Enoch.

These nine felt much aggrieved and they accordingly took counsel together. 'We nine, they said, 'are filial enough at heart; the only thing is that that shrew has the gift of the gab. That's why our father and mother-in-law think her so perfect. But to whom can we go and confide our grievance? One of them was struck with an idea.
