You needn't all come, he added to the others; 'I don't want the kids, but they'd get into mischief if we leave them here alone, and he glanced at Hec and Ger doubtfully. Aunt Mattie smiled again to herself at Justin's last words.
Her face was all over smiles when, after church, she stood waiting for the two little boys in the porch with her aunt, and set off with a small cavalier at each side to walk home to Caryll Place. It was the first visit Hec and Ger had paid there since Miss Mouse's arrival, and they had lots of things to see and ask about.
Bellmont replied that she had "some work to do just now; when that was done, she might come." Susan's appearance confirmed her husband's fears, and he requested his father, who sat by the bedside, to go for her. This was a messen- ger, as James well knew, who could not be de- nied; and the girl entered the room, sobbing and faint with anguish.
'Hers juth like a mouse, said Ger, 'all tho thoft and juth the right colour greyey, you know! His mother laughed. 'You funny boy, she said. 'When are you going to leave off lisping altogether? You can say S's quite well if you like. Did she mind your calling her "Miss Mouse"? she went on, turning to the elder boys. 'No, not a bit, said Archie. 'I think she liked it.
I shall be all right," said Gerald quickly. "I suppose my things have been moved into your room, father?" Daisy nodded. "Yes, I saw to all that.

William! what could you do for a man if he was your friend? no, I mean, if he was your enemy? Col. G. I daren't say, sir. Ger. Is the sun shining? Col. G. Yes, sir. It's a lovely day. Ger. What a desert the sky is! so dreary and wide and waste! Ah! if I might but creep into a hole in a tree, and feel it closing about me! How comfortable those toads must feel! Col.

"What's down there?" inquired Rodney.
G. I'm sorry, sir. Did you want anything? Ger. No. But I don't like to be left. You are the only friend I have. Col. G. Thank you, sir.
