'Aye, but among that party, said Emily, 'Redgie's laugh is not always a proof of peace: they are too much in the habit of acting the boys and the frogs. 'We were better off, said Lily, 'with the gentle Claude, as Miss Middleton used to call him. 'Miss Molly, as William used to call him with more propriety, said Claude, 'not half so well worth playing with as such a fellow as Redgie.
'Whether William is going to marry Miss Weston, said the straightforward Phyllis. 'Redgie says so only tell us. Oh! it would be so nice! 'How you blurt it out, Phyl, said Reginald. 'You do not know how those things are managed. Mind, I found it out all myself. Just say, Marianne. Am not I right? 'I do not know whether I ought to tell, said Marianne.
Reginald, after many yawns, prepared to follow his example, and as he was wishing his sisters good-night, Emily said, 'Now, Redgie, do not go out at such a preposterous hour to-morrow morning. 'What is that to you? was Reginald's courteous inquiry. 'I do not wish to see every one fast asleep to-morrow evening, said Emily, and she looked at her cousin, whose head was far back over his chair.
Then it is so nice about Old Adam and Orlando. Do not you think so, Claude? It is just what I am sure Wat Greenwood would do for Redgie, if he was to be turned out like Orlando. 'It is just what Wat Greenwood's ancestor did for Sir Maurice Mohun, said Claude. 'Yes, Dame Greenwood tells us that story. 'Well, Phyl, I think you show very good taste in liking the scene between Orlando and Adam.
'That was nearly out before, said Emily, 'Maurice and Redgie spoilt that long ago. 'I do not know of anything on Wednesday, but on Thursday she threw Ada down the steps out of the nursery. 'Oh! that accounts for the dreadful screaming that I heard, said Claude; 'I forgot to ask the meaning of it. 'I am sure it was Phyl that was the most dismayed, and cried the loudest, said Lily.
By the bye, Phyl, and Reginald gave a wondrous spring, 'I have it! I have it! I have it! If he is not in love with Miss Weston you may call me an ass for the rest of my life. 'I should not like to call you an ass, Redgie, said Phyllis. 'Very likely; but do not make me call you one. Hurrah! Now ask Marianne if it is not so. Marianne must know. How jolly!
'Maurice is reading, and William went out as soon as dinner was over; make haste, Phyl. 'Don't go, said Ada, 'I shall be alone all to-morrow, and I want you. 'Nonsense, said Reginald, 'do you think she is to sit poking here all day, playing with those foolish London things of yours? 'But I am ill, Redgie. I wish you would not be cross. Everybody is cross to me now, I think.
"Uncle Redgie was so glad to see the hoops come into fashion again," and Vera and Paula hardly knew the game, they had always played at lawn tennis; but they were delighted to learn, for Uncle Redgie proved to be a very fine-looking retired General, and there was a lad besides, grown to manly height; and one boy, at home for Easter, who, caring not for croquet, went with Primrose to exhibit to Thekla the tame menagerie, where a mungoose, called of course Raki raki, was the last acquisition.
Redgie does not know the misfortune that hangs over him, said Emily. 'What? said Reginald, 'will not the Baron let Viper come to the house? 'Worse, said Emily, 'Rachel is going away. 'Rachel? cried Claude, starting up from the sofa. 'Rachel? said Maurice, without raising his eyes. 'Rachel! Rachel! botheration! roared Reginald, with a wondrous caper.
Lily at first seemed disposed to be silent, and Miss Weston therefore amused herself with listening to the chatter of the little girls as they walked on before them. 'There are only thirty-six days to the holidays, said Phyllis; 'Ada and I keep a paper in the nursery with the account of the number of days. We shall be so glad when Claude, and Maurice, and Redgie come home.
