Come, you do dislike acting? Why? you do it so well, wonderfully. Generally speaking, people like what they do well." "It is not the acting itself, Grandy dear, that I don't like.
And they have been poor but they were honest," she added deeply. Which Felice repeated gravely to Grandy in the garden and added eagerly, "Were our ancestors poor but honest?" He smiled grimly.

She smiled at them wistfully, as she was wont to smile at Grandy, with her heart in her eyes. "We're going to pretend something," she called to them softly, "Would you like to pretend?
"And do you know that what I told you this afternoon was true?" he countered cheerfully. "You're just like my blazing old Grandy! Instead of being my grandfather he ought to be yours.

"I think you look very charming, my dear," he murmured automatically, his thin hand on the top of his cane. He shivered slightly. "But I forbid you to go to Paris bad business it's a bad business, Louisa!"
Sophy listened very earnestly, very gravely, and then sliding her hand from the Mayor, caught hold of her grandfather's arm firmly, and said, "And you, Grandy, will you like it? won't it be dull for you, Grandy dear?"
