Still, I'm frightfully fond of you and I know you'd do anything for me, and you're nearly as much of a darling as Ozzie, but you mustn't be a rich man when you call on me here. I couldn't bear it twice." "I retire in disorder, closely pursued by the victorious enemy," said Mr. Prohack. And in so saying he accurately described the situation.
Sissie greeted Charles when Ozzie brought him into the room, and then, catching her father's eye and being anxious to rest secure in the paternal admiration, she added: "Anyway it was very decent of you to come. I know how busy you are." Charles raised his eyebrows at this astonishing piece of sisterliness. His mother kissed him fondly, having received from Mr.
Uncle Billy, the stake-holder, in handing the money over to the Italian, remarked: "Wal, it don't look so much ag'in nachur now, after all." "Breens uppa dar" smiled the Italian as he put ten eagles into Archie B.'s hand. All of which made Archie B. vain, for the crowd now cheered him as they had jeered before. "Come, let's go, Ozzie B.," he said.
And she looked at Ozzie as if to say: "I hope it isn't one of your indiscreet bachelor friends." Ozzie hastened obediently out. "It may be Charlie," ventured Eve. "Wouldn't it be nice if he called?" "Yes, wouldn't it?" Sissie agreed. "I did 'phone him up to try to get him to dinner, but naturally he was away for the day. He's always as invisible as a millionaire nowadays.
Still, such unions had occurred! but he was pleasantly touched, too. Then Oswald Morfey and Sissie made another couple, very different, more animated, and equally touching. Ozzie seemed to grow more likeable, and less despicable, under the honest and frankly ardent gaze of Miss Prohack; and Mr.
Ozzie transformed the final act of the luncheon. An adept conversationalist, he created conversationalists on every side. Mrs. Prohack liked him at once. Sissie could not keep her eyes off him. Charlie was impressed by him. Lady Massulam treated him with the familiarity of an intimate. Mr. Prohack alone was sinister in attitude. Ozzie brought the great world into the room with him.
"It is," Ozzie agreed, and off he went, to resume the serious struggle for existence, he who until quite recently had followed the great theatrical convention that though space may be a reality, time is not. "I don't mind the extravagance, because after all it's good for trade," said Eve. "What I " "Mother darling!" Sissie protested.
"Now you sho'ly ain't goin' to be sech a fool as that? It's too late to go now; we'll only ketch a whuppin'. We are goin' to play hookey to-day." But Ozzie B. only shook his head. "That's wrong so wrong. The Lord He will not bless us maw says so. Oh, I can't, Archie B."
"None," said Archie B., as he put his two pieces of gold under his pillow. "I can't see why that was," wailed Ozzie B. "I done nothin' an' an' got all all the lickin'!" "You jes' reaped my whirlwind," sneered his brother "All fools do!" But later he felt so sorry for poor Ozzie B. because he could not lie on his back at all, that he gave him one of his beautiful coins to go to sleep.
Now, you git up from there and go see why Ozzie B. don't fetch the cows home." Archie B. arose and went down the road whistling. A ground squirrel ran into a pile of rocks. Archie B. turned the rocks about until he found the nest, which he examined critically and with care. He fingered it carefully and patted it back into shape.
