Laurie somewhat sobered agreed that it would be a good idea: "The mater's a good old scout," he said lightly, "She's always helping me out of scrapes, but this is one too many to give up her emeralds, the Shafton Emeralds! Gosh but dad will be mad about them! And Oh, say, call that boy back will you? I want to give him a dollar!"
You will come to us again, won't you? Gerald's friends, you know, are my friends. Good-by." And with a tender pressure of the hand, and a lingering look she was gone. Gerald waited until the door was closed, then produced cigarettes which he proffered to Decker. "Mater's last hobby is tobacco," he smiled indulgently. "She is going to abolish it from the universe.
"The mater's a stayer," quoth Jimmy, and forthwith took up the wondrous tale with his hero, who began to consult him seriously on the question of "points." "If you'd had to give a decision, Jimmy, which of us would have got it, Jenkins or I?" Jimmy looked very grave and earnest. "It's jolly difficult to tell a thing like that, isn't it?" he said, after a longish pause.
Say," he went on, "I've come home to make this house really yours, and to give you the right of asking what I'm doing around here. You've won all your points pomp, ceremony, big wedding, all the fuss, mater's blessing. The mater is just daffy about you ought to see her letters. You're a winner, you're a great little diplomat, and I'm proud of you too.
"Look here!" he remarked to his two companions. "You know that little bootmaker's shop just down the road, before you come to the church. There's a notice in the window, 'Double Tricycle on Hire. Well, the mater's sent me some money this year instead of a hamper, so I thought I'd hire the machine; and we'll go out for a ride, and take it in turns for one to walk or trot behind."
And I'm thankful he's had the tact to take himself off. It's a good thing Styles wasn't the mater's to leave to him. Couldn't bear to think of the fellow lording it here. He's welcome to her money." "You'll be able to keep up the place all right?" I asked. "Oh, yes.
'Then he is really going? I heard the pater and mater talking about it yesterday, and they said it would be an excellent thing for him. 'Oh, Maude! Then they did not say anything about what we hoped? 'What, the mater's offering for you to come and live with us, darling? Oh no; and I's afraid it is of no use to ask her, for she said of herself, that she knew Mr. Mohun had sisters, and
Just because Cecilia's got a bit sunburnt, and because she's havin' an easy time 'cause Mater's away " "Oh, you think because you're a boy, you know everything," retorted his sister hotly. "You just listen, and see if I've got rotten ideas. Did you know, she's kept her room locked for days?" "Well if she has? That's nothing." "You shut up and let me go on.
She fought down the impulse though and moved over to the window. "You want me to go away and hide?" she asked from there, her voice dangerously quiet. He glanced up at her. "Keep out of the mater's way," he acknowledged, "she would have seven fits." "Why?" asked Joan. "Why," he repeated, "good Lord, you don't know the mater. She " Joan interrupted.
