It belongs to a gentleman with a wonderful funny-shaped 'ead, long and narrer and full of nobbles 'stror'nary 'ead 'e 'as. And as for sizes, it's wonderful what a difference there is. I do a lot of trade with lawyers, and it's astonishing the size of their 'eads. You'd be surprised. I suppose it's the amount of thinking they have to do that makes their 'eads swell.
'In a gown? repeated Bobby. 'A white one? Me and Nobbles want to know about white gowns, acause you can't get inside the gates if you haven't got one on, and' his lips quivered 'I don't want to be shut out, I reely don't! 'I'm sure you needn't be afraid of that, said Lady Isobel, smiling, though she sighed at the same time.
Boys of your age ought never to cry; you don't want to be a baby. Nurse got her work-basket out, and very cleverly tied Nobbles together with a bit of tape. 'There! she said, laying him in Bobby's arms. 'Be gentle with him, and he'll last like that till we get him mended; and now tell me all about it. The story was told; and Nurse was proud of her charge's pluck.
But oughtn't we to be very careful not to sin, just to show Him how we value our robe, how we love Him for being so kind and good to us? Mrs. Allonby paused. Bobby nodded his head very solemnly at her. 'Me and Nobbles will 'member that story. I'll tell him it in bed.
Things had not turned out quite according to his expectations, but he was well pleased to have a little playfellow in True, and though she adopted a slightly superior and motherly air with him, she was a deferential listener to any of Nobbles' exploits. She had no difficulty in believing that he was alive; in fact she was quite ready to explain his existence in a manner quite new to Bobby.
Mortimer murmured the words, and happily Bobby did not hear them. That evening he and Nobbles were too excited to sleep. In rehearsing his day to himself, Bobby began to think of many such blissful times in the future; he pictured them to Nobbles, his father being the centre-piece. And then he stopped talking and began to listen for the knock that was to come.
'It wouldn't do, and we might miss him; he might arrive after you had gone. 'Me and Nobbles could go and look for him our own selves, Bobby said very thoughtfully. 'We would just ask and ask till they told us where he was. His uncle began to feel uneasy. 'No, that's quite the wrong way about. He must come to you, not you go to him.
And Bobby's face brightened at the thought. After all, Nobbles belonged to him, not to True, and if he didn't choose him to be a prince he need not be one. Bobby's interview with Nurse was rather a trying one. He could hardly understand why he should be blamed. 'You knewed my father would come one day, Nurse.
'Well, said True, slowly, 'it was you who put Nobbles on the ice. 'Yes, said Bobby, 'it was what I'd been longing and wanting to do, and I was always finking and finking how it could be done, and then all of a sudden it comed, and who saved father's life? Why, me and Nobbles. True was crushed.
He spoke to him with a twinkle in his eye. 'Will you promise me not to put marbles in my boots to-morrow morning? Bobby started; then he chuckled. 'You finked it was Nobbles. I needn't hide from peoples now. Me and Nobbles can walk over the house, where we likes. Aunt Is'bel says so.
