"All went merry as a marriage bell" for a page and a half; then David, fiddling away, cried out, "You are getting too fast; 'ri tum tiddy, iddy ri tum ti;" then, by stamping and accenting very strongly, he kept the piano from overflowing its bounds. The piece ended. Eve rubbed her hands. "Now you'll catch it, Mr. David!" "I am afraid I gave you a great deal of trouble, Mr. Dodd."
My mother slipped back into Iddy when her faculties began to fail her, poor woman; but I could not resent that, at her age. ZOO. Do you mean to say that your mother bothered about you after you were ten? THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. Naturally, madam. She was my mother. What would you have had her do? ZOO. Go on to the next, of course.
A look of silent disdain: "Ri tum, ti tum, tiddy iddy." Between the quadrilles she asked an explanation. "Your aunt met me with my bag in my hand, and told me you wanted me to play to the company." When he said this, David heard a sound like the click of a trigger. He looked up; it was Lucy clinching her teeth convulsively. But time was up: the woman of the world must go on like the prizefighter.
This time they played some of the tunes they had rehearsed together that happy evening, and David's lip quivered. Lucy eyed him unobserved. "Was this wise to subject yourself to this?" "I must obey orders, whatever it costs me 'ri tum ti tum ti tum ti tum." "Who ordered you to neglect my advice? 'ri tum tum tum." "You did 'ri tum ti tum tiddy iddy."
I was called Iddy until I went to school, when I made my first stand for children's rights by insisting on being called at least Joe. At fifteen I refused to answer to anything shorter than Joseph.
"Ah!" squeaked Lady Barbara, unused to such interjections. "Gone down in what?" said Ipsden, in a loud voice. "Don't bellow in people's ears. The Tisbe, stupid," cried she, screaming at the top of her voice. "Ri tum, ti turn, ti tum, tum, tum, tiddy, iddy," went Lord Ipsden he whistled a polka. "I have heard it at a distance, but I never saw how it was done before. It is very, very pretty!!!!"
The couples were waiting. "Ri tum ti tum ti tum ti tum tiddy iddy." For all that, she did not finish the tune. In the middle of it she said to David, "'Ri tum ti tum can you get through this without me? 'ri tum." "If I can get through life without you, I can surely get through this twaddle: 'ri tum ti tum ti tum ti tum tiddy iddy." Lucy started from her seat, leaving David plowing solo.
ZOO. What a ridiculously long name! I cant call you all that. What did your mother call you? THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. You recall the bitterest struggles of my childhood. I was sensitive on the point. Children suffer greatly from absurd nicknames. My mother thoughtlessly called me Iddy Toodles.
