A girl in grey is standing in the hall, leaning over a pram in which the jolliest, fattest boy you've ever thought of is sitting and generally bossing the entire show. He is reputed by his nurse, who is old enough to know better, to have just spoken his first consecutive sentence.
"He'd been hinting at it before; and even when I found him jolliest and most amusing and companionable I never thought of him as a a social possibility I mean among those who really count like my own people " "Oh! he asked you to introduce him into your own family circle?"
I got to know him at Atlantic City, where I had a Board Walk pitch one season. Queer? That's no word for it! Shy and lonesome he was; but after you got to know him, one of the brightest, jolliest old duffers. Our first talk was out on the end of one of those long piers, by moonlight. "After that it was a regular thing. We'd walk up and down like two kids, telling each other all about ourselves.
"You said there was another guest-room," he reminded her presently. "The bachelor's room. Is it next door?" They went together to look at the bachelor's room. Burns surveyed it with satisfaction. "The jolliest room for the purpose I ever saw," he confessed. "And I know the bachelor who will sleep in it. He's downstairs now, in the small room out of ours." "Bob? Why, Red "
Kneebone, who had drained his glass to the restoration of the house of Stuart, and the downfall of the house of Hanover, more frequently than was consistent with prudence, consented; and the trio set out for Wych Street, where they arrived in the jolliest humour possible. Mr. Kneebone and his Friends. Mrs. Wood was scarcely seated before Mr. Kneebone made his appearance.
Then wiping her eyes furtively with one corner of her apron she remarked to herself: "Well, I suppose I am glad, mighty glad; but somehow it isn't the jolliest thing in the world to have one's friends get married. They are never the same again; and in ten times out of six the lady in the case is jealous of her husband's friends, and tries to make trouble.
"My uncle's a captain, you know, and he says there are hundreds of islands like it, the jolliest places you ever saw, any amount of food, no wild animals, splendid weather all the year round, magnificent mountains and valleys and woods and bays, gorgeous fishing and hunting, oceans of fruit trees, everything a fellow could wish for, and not a soul on one of them."
"There, Rose! Our first day!" said Julius, aghast. "You'd better come to lunch at my rooms," said the young curate, eagerly. "Do! Mother has brought the jolliest hamper! Game-pie, and preserved magnum-bonums, and pears off the old jargonelle. Come, Lady Rosamond, do. Come along, Bindon! There's such a dish of damson-cheese! Do!"
"Oh! certainly, by all means," said Crusoe no! he didn't exactly say it, but really he looked these words so evidently that we think it right to let them stand as they are written. If he could have finished the sentence, he would certainly have said, "Go on with that game over again, old boy; it's quite to my taste the jolliest thing in life, I assure you!"
"My little sweetheart is only pocket size at present," he said. "I'm waiting for her to grow up." "Oh! Is she little like me?" asked the chief bridesmaid, looking slightly disappointed. "She's just like you, sweetheart," said Noel, with cheery assurance. "She has eyes of wedgewood blue, and hair of golden down, a mouth like a rose, and the jolliest little turn-up nose in the world.
