King would say, "No more practising to-day, Miss Polly;" or Phronsie would pipe out, "Polly, Grandpapa is going to take us out on the lake; do come, Polly." And then it was funnier yet to see how suddenly the big fat man with the dreadful black beard seemed to find that particular corner by that partition a very tiresome place.
"I'm going to have a donkey for my very own," confided Phronsie, excitedly, the next morning, to Jasper, whom she met in the little sun-parlour. "No!" cried Jasper, pretending to be much amazed, "you don't say so, Phronsie!" "Yes, I am," she cried, bobbing her yellow head. "Grandpapa said so; he really did, Jasper. And I'm going to ride up that long, big mountain on my donkey."
There's nobody to play with at High Court, and grandpapa always keeps daddy talking politics, so that I can hardly ever get him! Mysie, whatever do you do with your father away in India? 'Yes, it is horrid. But then, there's mamma, said Mysie, whispering, however, as she saw Dolores near, and feared to hurt her feelings.
"Oh, sir, 'twas lovely! and I cried so, didn't I, grandpapa?" says the child. "At what, my dear?" "At at Mr. Warrington's play, grandpapa." "Did you, my dear? I dare say; I dare say!
From the end of the room which she could not see, she heard a sound as of someone kissing something, and instinct had almost made her turn to go away when the word: "Hallo!" suddenly opened her lips. And almost directly she saw that Granny and Grandpapa were standing by the fireplace.
"Oh, I do so wish I might," she said, "there's so much for a little girl like me. It would be so nice to have Charlotte have some with me." Still no answer.

The voice of little Ann reached him, clear and high above the smothered whirring of the car. "Come on, Grandpapa!" Lord Valleys grimaced beneath his crisp moustache the word grandpapa always fell queerly on the ears of one who was but fifty-six, and by no means felt it and jerking his gloved hand towards Ann, he said: "Send down to the lodge gate for this."

"I had spent some weeks with my family, when I learned that the enemy was approaching, and that one of their principal chiefs had just joined them. This chief was the Lion." Erard, rising. Grandpapa, perhaps it was .
Mamma is the eldest, and ought to have had Fairholm, but she was away in Ireland, busy having me, when grandpapa died, and couldn't come; so Uncle James frightened the old man into leaving the place to him, and mamma only got fifty pounds a year, which wasn't fair." "Who told you this, Beth?" "Mildred. Mamma told her.
In those days one never saw large cups of oriental china, and this was what made the service particularly uncommon, and Grandpapa had never been able to find out if the large ones were really Chinese or only imitation, copied from the smaller ones.
