"I put it there, grannie," said the Prophet, humbly. "I wrote that if another boy knocked, death would certainly ensue." "Ensue. That's it. I knew it was one of those modern words," said Mr. Green. "Another boy?" said Lady Enid. "Why should another boy knock?" "Hennessey receives about nine telegrams an hour," answered Mrs. Merillia. "Really!"
"Do you allude to any special mouse?" "I do, ma'am. I allude to the Mouse that has helped to make Madame and self what we are." Sir Tiglath began to roll about in his chair preparatory to some deliverance, and Mrs. Merillia, casting a somewhat agitated glance at her grandson, answered, "Really. I did not know that anything so small could have so much influence." "It may be small, ma'am," said Mr.
"Oh, yes, she did," said a voice, to which the Prophet again listened with strained attention. "It was in connection with this idea that Mr. Vivian developed his enthusiasm for the telescope which led him, perhaps, a little too far, Sir Tiglath, but I'm sure Mrs. Merillia and you have quite forgotten that!" Here Lady Enid paused, and the astronomer achieved the final conquest of the muffin.
And she has asked in Sir Tiglath Butt and the Lady Julia Postlethwaite to join her. I was about to show Mrs. Merillia the menu, sir, when " "Good Heavens! Merciful Powers!" ejaculated the Prophet. "Sir?" "What on earth is to be done?" continued the Prophet, lost for the moment to all sense of propriety. Mr. Ferdinand looked at the old and valued friends.
Lady Enid looked at him with keen interest, while Mrs. Merillia continued, "You had better take death off the door now, Mr. Ferdinand. I feel more myself. Please thank her ladyship and tell her so." "Yes, ma'am." "Nine telegrams an hour!" repeated Lady Enid. "Mr. Vivian, would you mind just seeing me as far as Hill Street? Bob has to go to Tattersall's." "Have I, Niddy?" asked Mr.
I have just informed the messenger that the next boy who knocks will certainly be well, destroyed." Mrs. Merillia breathed a sigh of relief. "I am so thankful, Hennessey. Are you dining out to-night?" "No, grannie. I don't feel very well. I have a headache. I shall go and lie down for a little." "Yes, do. Everybody is lying down; Fancy, the upper housemaid, the cook.
She was of those women who, when they meet the inevitable, instinctively seem to recognise that it demands courage as a manner and truth as a greeting. She, therefore, stared straight at Sir Tiglath much as she stared at Mrs. Merillia when she was about to arrange that lady's wig for an assembly and remarked in a decisive, though very respectful, tone of voice,
"What is it?" cried the Prophet, distractedly, "Come in!" Mr. Ferdinand re-entered very delicately. "Her ladyship can only stay a minute, sir. Mrs. Merillia hopes you can leave your business I said as you was very busy, sir and come up to the drawing-room." "Yes, yes. I'll come. Say I'll come, Mr. Ferdinand." "Yes, sir." As the door closed the Prophet exclaimed excitedly, "I fear I really must "
"They are, sir, and have been talking incessant, sir, ever since they was put there. We can hear their voices in our hall, sir." Mr. Ferdinand again pursed his lips and looked like an elderly lady. The Prophet could no longer meet his eye. "Bring some tea, Mr. Ferdinand, quietly to the library. And and if Mrs. Merillia should ask for me say I'm say I'm busy er writing." Mr.
Sagittarius. As to Mrs. Merillia, although she was, in reality, near fainting with wonder at her grandson's escapade, she preserved an expression of gracious benignity, and did not allow a motion of her eyelids or a flutter of her fan to betray her emotion at finding herself the unprepared hostess of such unusual guests.
