And will you cut an arrow for me, and will you make it very sharp? Will you make it awfu' sharp? The kind that would pwick deep, you know, that would cut into things and be like the arrow that the gweat Diana used." Apollo was finding his afternoon somewhat dull. He had made no friends as yet with the little Dolman children.
'You gWeat scoundWel! said he, with a multiplicity of oaths; 'you mutinous dog! what do you mean by dWessing yourself in my Wegimentals? As sure as my name's Fakenham, when we get back to the Wegiment, I'll have your soul cut out of your body. 'I'm promoted, Lieutenant, said I, with a sneer.
"We'll be mis'ble, but it can't be helped," said Diana. "I never did like aunts, and I'm never going to, what's more. Come 'long now, sildrens. It's a gweat nuisance getting up so early, particular when father can't help hisself. Can you, father? Go to s'eep now, father. Come 'long this minute, back to bed, sildrens."
"Now, G'eased Lightning, you has got to be a good horse," said Diana, speaking to him in a confiding voice. "You isn't to fwighten Orion; 'member he's a giant, and it's a gweat honor for you to carry him, 'cos most times he lives up in the stars." "Come, missy, we have no time for that sort of nonsense," said Uncle Ben, who began to get impatient. "Give me back my whip."
And so you has run away, and you belong to the circus, I guess. Why, you are in your circus dresses." "See my bow and arrow," said Diana. "I is the gweat Diana; I is the gweatest huntwess in all the world." "To be sure; to be sure!" said the man. "And I am Orion," said the boy, seeing that Diana's words were having a good effect. "You can watch me up in the sky on starful nights.
"I want to have our enemies shotted wight off." "Do you mean to tell me," said Apollo, laughing, "that you wish to shoot Aunt Jane and that old woman in the nursery?" "I wish to pwick 'em first time, and then, if they is naughty again, to have 'em shotted down dead. Why not? Mother, who is up in the heavens, called me after gweat Diana, and Diana always shotted her enemies." "Oh, dear me, Di!
The blood in my veins comes puwified thwough ten thousand years of chivalwous ancestwy; but that is neither here nor there: my political principles the equal wights which I have advocated the gweat cause of fweedom that I have celebwated, are known to all. But this, I confess, has nothing to do with the question.
Give me that whip." "Oh, but I say, little missy " "Give me that whip," repeated Diana, flashing her eyes up at the man. "I is the gweat Diana and I order you. Give me the whip; I'll slash it; I know how. Ah, here comes G'eased Lightning. Come 'long, you beauty; come 'long, you darlin'."
"Course I'll be close to you, Orion. I is the gweat Diana. Well, Uncle Ben, you isn't going to punish him. If you punish him he can't wide, 'cos he'll be ill. He's a giant." "A pigmy I call him," said Uncle Ben. "You talk silly," replied Diana; "he's a giant, 'cos mother said he was, and on starful nights you can see him shining in the sky."
"You had best not call Mother Bridget names," said Mother Rodesia, giving Diana a violent shake as she spoke. But the little girl leaped lightly away from her. "I always call peoples just what I think them," she said; "I wouldn't be the gweat Diana if I didn't. I has not got one scwap of fear in me, so you needn't think to come wound me that way. I do think she is awfu' ugly.
