"Oh, the dear things, oh, the dear things!" she kept saying continually, "how wonderfully clever they are! Only look at that one with his foot up, giving orders to the others, John!"
But his wife smiled a smile of contempt, went with Betty to the kitchen over which Robert's room lay heard the sounds, put off her creaking shoes, stole up-stairs on her soft white lambswool stockings, and caught the pair.
