Though he had loved her he had never been altogether satisfied with her. But Isabel was as young as Hebe. He knew nothing of her actual years, but he did know that to have seemed younger, or to have seemed older, to have seemed in any way different from what she was, would have been to be less perfect. "Pert Poppet!"
"I don't know what plastic force is; but I wish I had had the luck to be by when the pretty poppet came up: however, the nearest thing I ever saw to that was maidens swimming alongside of us when we were in the South Seas, and would have come aboard, too; but Drake sent them all off again for a lot of naughty packs, and I verily believe they were no better. Look at the butterflies, now!
Now, Sir! if you please, mind that packet! pretty darling easy with that box, Sir, its glass pooooty poppet where's the deal case, marked arrowroot, No. 24? she cried, reading out of a list she had. And poor little James went to sleep. The porters were bundling and carting the various harticles with no more ceremony than if each package had been of cannonball.
But he, in his grown-upness, insisted on going on, and thus he was met in the front garden by Martha. Now you remember that, as a special favour, the Psammead had arranged that the servants in the house should never notice any change brought about by the wishes of the children. "Come to his own Martha, then a precious poppet!" An expression of intense horror and annoyance was seen on his face.
But Josephine felt nothing humiliating in his lordliness. She loved him, she was a woman devoid of self-esteem; hence humiliation from his hand was impossible. Just then pretty little Fina came running to the window from the garden, where she was playing. "Come here, poppet," said Mr. Dundas, holding out his left hand, his right round comely Josephine.
"Such an encounter, my poppet!" he announced, groping his way across to the caravan, where his spouse had lit the lamp and stood in the doorway awaiting him. "Smiles our ingenuous Smiles has decoyed, has laid me under suspicion; and of what, d'you think? Stealing orphans!" "Hush!" answered Mrs. Mortimer. "They 're here." "They? Who? . . . Not the bailiffs?

"Give a man a horse he can ride, Give a man a boat he can sail, And his something or other I forget the exact expression On sea nor shore shall fail!" "Fling wide the gate, Smiles!" He was now the Dashing Cavalier, life-sized. "Take care of yourself, poppet!" "Tirra tirra by the river Sang Sir Lancelot!" "Old mole! canst work i' the earth so fast?" All the way along the canal bank Mr.
"I have heard of it already," said Meekin, sipping the sherry, which another convict servant had brought for him; "and of your gallant conduct, Captain Frere." "Oh, that's nothing," said Frere, reddening. "We were all in the same boat. Poppet, have a glass of wine?" "No," said Sylvia, "I don't want any."
"How now, malapert poppet!" exclaimed the Countess, and though at some distance, uplifted her riding-rod. Susan was ready to sink into the earth with confusion at the great lady's displeasure, but Richard had stooped and lifted the little maid in his arms, while Queen Mary turned, her face lit up as by a sunbeam, and said, "Ah, bonnibell, art thou fain to see thy father?
