"What do you want to go down the town for?" "Never you mind. I don't ask you what you do." "You want to go down the slonk," whispered Maggie. The cook stopped stirring the saucepan, and the kitchenmaid stood listening greedily. "Nothing of the kind," Sally answered defiantly. "You're always trying to get up something against me. Cook, will you keep back the dinner twenty minutes?"
I hear that you, too, were seen walking with young Meason." "It is not true, I assure you, father. I met him as I was going to the post-office. I said, 'How do you do? and I passed on." "Where is Sally?" "She went out a few minutes ago." "Didn't she know the time? She ought to be dressing for dinner. Do you know where she's gone?" "I think she went down the slonk."
As for that story about telling cook to put father's dinner back, I don't think I ever shall hear the last of it. What made father so angry was because he thought it was to talk to Jimmy in the slonk." "You told me the last time I was here that you wanted to finish a conversation with him in the slonk."
Father doesn't know any of them, and he says they laugh at him when he goes to the station in the morning. 'Tisn't true, it is only his imagination; but I can quite well understand his feelings. You know Sally won't give way in anything. Once she ran into the kitchen, and told cook to put back the dinner, so that she might run down the slonk to finish her conversation with him.
He put the brown paper parcel on the table; he took off his coat and laid it on the bed, heaving, at the same time, a sigh. "Did you notice if the quarter-to-seven has been signalled?" "Yes, but don't keep on worrying; the train is coming along the embankment." "Then there will be a row to-night." "Why?" "Sally told cook to keep the dinner back; she has gone down the slonk to speak to Meason."
"I say it is not fair; a man of my money should have a comfortable home to return to. Even the Southdown Road people have that; but no consideration is shown to me. My dinner is put back so that Sally may continue her flirtation with Meason in the slonk. Did any one ever hear of such a thing? A man's dinner put back so that that that "
I know it is very trying, but there is no use in sitting there lamenting. Put up your silk handkerchief and come to the point. We all know it will be the same a hundred years hence, but in the meantime you don't want your dinner put back, so that Sally may continue her flirtations in the slonk," and Aunt Mary burst into a merry peal of laughter.
