"Then tell me so." "I have a big sister Solly," said Content. Now she spoke rather wearily, although still sweetly, as if puzzled why she had been disturbed in sleep to be asked such an obvious question. "Where has she been all the time, that we have known nothing about her?" demanded the rector. Content smiled. However, she spoke. "Home," said she. "When did she come here?" "This morning."
"I discovered that Stafford King comes regularly to the theatre, that he takes her to dinner and that he visits the house at Horsham." "Solly never told me that the swine!" rapped the colonel, "he's going to double-cross us, that fellow." "I don't believe it." It was Crewe that spoke. "Swell" Crewe, whose boast it was that he had a suit for every day in the year.
The colonel had never been a great favourite of Maisie White's, and now it required a considerable effort on her part to hide her deep aversion. "Do I want to see your father?" said Colonel Boundary. "Why, yes, I think I do and I want to see you too, and I'd just as soon see you first, before I speak to Solly." She sat down, a model of patient politeness, her hands folded on her lap.
You know she is a little inclined to stoop, and I have talked to her about it. She stood straight, and looked at me with those blue eyes, and I did feel fairly dizzy." "What did you say?"

There was four square yards of it, looking like the path of a cyclone that has wandered through a stock- yard, a poultry-farm, a vegetable-garden, and an Irish linen mill.
Then the boys threw themselves upon the ground to rest after several hours of constant riding. One of the cowboys in the outfit, Sol Flatbush by name, stood staring at the old man and the boy. He was scratching his forelock in a meditative sort of way, as if trying to remember something. "What is it, Solly? I reckon what yer tryin' ter think of is that ye've forgot yer supper," said Bud.
We remained upon the coast for another six months, and then: were ordered home, to the great delight of everybody but Ching, who parted from us all very sadly. "You think Mr Leardon like to take Ching see Queen Victolia?" he said to me one day in confidence. "I'm afraid not," I replied seriously. "Ching velly solly," he said. "Plenty lich man now! plenty plize-money!
Content's big sister Solly has gone away, and she is never coming back. If you tell Lily and the others I said so, I can't see how you will be lying." Little Lucy gazed at the boy. She looked like truth incarnate. "But," said she, in her adorable stupidity of innocence, "I don't see how she could go away if she was never here, Jim." "Oh, of course she couldn't.
I tried him with theatres, rides in automobiles, sails on the lake, champagne suppers, and all those little inventions that hold the simple life in check; but in vain. Solly grew sadder day by day. And I got fearful about my salary, and knew I must play my trump card.
