Bruce didn't understand why Edith was so much amused by this letter, nor why she said that she should soon write and ask Lady Conroy who Madame Frabelle was, and that she would probably answer that she was a great friend of Edith's and of the Mitchells, and the Rev. Byrne Fraser. 'She seems a little doubtful about Fraser, doesn't she? Bruce said. 'I mean Lady Conroy.

Even hide-and-seek, I believe, sometimes. And Mitchell adores unpractical jokes, too. 'I see. It's rather exciting that I'm going to the Mitchells at last. 'Yes, perhaps it will be the turning-point of your life, said Vincy. 'Ah! here's Bruce. 'I don't think much of that opera glass your mother gave you, Bruce remarked to his wife, soon after the curtain rose. 'It's the fashion, said Edith.

However, there was no doubt that their parties had got the name for being funny, and that was quite enough. London people in every set are so desperate for something out of the ordinary way, for variety and oddness, that the Mitchells were frequently asked for invitations by most distinguished persons who hoped, in their blase fatigue, to meet something new and queer.

You have rather a way, Edith, of keeping me talking. You seem to think I've nothing else to do, and it's serious that I should be punctual at the office. By the way I shouldn't go out with Hyacinth today, if I were you I'd rather you didn't. 'Why not, Bruce? 'Well, I may want you. 'Then aren't you going to the Mitchells'?

Then, speaking down a telephone, "Send Thomas Mitchell to me." The answer came back: "Mitchell has this moment knocked off work and gone." "Provoking!" said the gentleman. "It does not matter," said Leonard. "I know his address, and I can go there and speak to him." He set off, having a vague notion of the neighbourhood in which the Mitchells lived.

"Possibly that is so!" Mr. Adiesen replied slowly. "I hope," Fred resumed, and he smiled very pleasantly, "that this Viking fancy he has taken up may be of service to him in bringing him into contact with boys of his own age and rank. The young Mitchells are capital fellows, and you know better than most folk what sort of companions he is likely to find in Dr. Holtum's family."

At any rate, the first call to the school connected the Mitchells with a grumpy-voiced janitor who growled that teachers and principals had headed for their hills of freedom and wouldn't be back until Monday Week. It took some calling to locate a couple of James Holden's classmates who asserted that he hadn't been in school that day.

Whether this clinging to the old name was tribute to the free-handed Mitchells or evidence of fine old English firmness is a matter not yet determined. The free-handed Mitchells themselves, as a family, were no more. They had scattered, married or died, lost their money, gone to work, or otherwise disappeared.

He was not missed anywhere until the school bus that should have dropped him off did not. This was an area of weakness that Brennan could not plug; he could hardly justify the effort of delivering and fetching the lad to and from school when the public school bus passed the Holden home. Brennan relied upon the Mitchells to see James upon the bus and to check him off when he returned.

How glad I am that I am not amongst them! I wonder whether it will be a full ball or not! They have not begun dancing yet. I would not be there for all the world. It is so delightful to have an evening now and then to oneself. I dare say it will not be a very good ball. I know the Mitchells will not be there. I am sure I pity everybody that is. But I dare say, Mr.
