Before, however, I had come to this conclusion, I had thought that Ernest might be able to help me to the right thing, and had written to him upon the subject. The following is the answer I received "Dear Godpapa, I send you the best bit I can think of; it is the subject of the last of Handel's six grand fugues and goes thus:
Well, then, I have no scruple in asking you to join us;" and he gave Grace a look, as much as to say, "Am I not a considerate person?" "I am infinitely obliged to you, Mr. Raby," said Coventry, seriously; "I will come." "You will stay to luncheon, godpapa?" "Never touch it. Good-by. Well, then, Christmas-eve I shall expect you both. Dinner at six.
He insists upon addressing me by the terms of our 'official' relationship, as if he made it a principle of our intercourse. 'Well, and is your godpapa to congratulate you on your having had a quiet rest? was his greeting. I answered stupidly: 'Oh, yes, thank you, and would have given worlds for the courage to reply in French, but I distrusted my accent.
I wished to use some term of endearment in reply, and said, I remember, 'Yes, and we are also glad, Godpapa. I was astonished that he should look so disconcerted, and went on: 'Have you forgotten that you are my godpapa? He answered: 'Am I? Oh! yes the name of Alice. Still he looked uncertain, uncomfortable, and I said, 'Do you want to cancel the past, and cast me off?

'Well, I'm glad you like it, godpapa, because now I shall bring him to see you again. When there's a moon he can howl much louder. I'll bring him when the next moon comes, shall I? 'We'll see, Chuckie, we'll see. I shouldn't like to keep him sitting up all night to howl on my account; it wouldn't be good for his health.
The pawns were little green and white men, with real swords and shields; the knights were on horseback, the castles were on the backs of elephants. These chessmen were the delight of Georgie's life, who printed his first letter of acknowledgment of this gift of his godpapa.
"Don't you know you are never to mention that name?" "I know I love Harry, and I didn't love Hugh," says the sturdy little rebel. "And if cousin Harry is in prison, I'll give him my half-guinea that my godpapa gave me, and anything I have yes, anything, except except my little horse and my silver waistcoat and and Snowball and Sweetlips at home and and, yes, my custard after dinner."
"Where did you get this?" she asked, fondling it, for she loved fine fabrics. "Never mind," said he. "Put it on." "I am suspicious of these shawls and fallals that Bundaboo seems full of. Who is the hidden lady?" He only smiled at her. "Ah, godpapa, you spoil me!" She drew the wrap about her, and he assisted to adjust it, with gentle skill. Then he turned abruptly to Carey, as to a groom.
He is always ready to do a service, but on this occasion I think it was an afterthought. I shall not venture to call him 'Godpapa' again. Indeed, if I have a desire, it is that I may be blind to people's weakness. My insight is inveterate. Papa says he has heard Mr. Pollingray boast of his age. If so, there has come a change over him. I cannot be deceived. I see it constantly.
