And I should like to feel that you have some good and safe idea of your own happiness in life before I leave you." She stared, her face fell. "I have no ideas at all," she answered after a pause, the corners of her red mouth drooping in petulant, spoilt-child fashion, "and if you go away I shall have no pleasures either!" He smiled. "I'm sorry you take it that way," he said.
She was dropping all her spoilt-child airs; and the bower-bird adornments, with which she had filled her little room in Medburn House, had been gradually cleared away, to Nora's great annoyance, till it was almost as bare as Nora's own.

"Nay!" she said, in a spoilt-child tone, "I'm not going to bed before my time for laughing at that great oaf! Nurse Alice says he is to wed me, but I won't have him!
She leaned forward quite eagerly on the sofa and her whimsical, spoilt-child manner dropped away from her. "You ain't." "Don't be silly. I know I'm not, of course. But if I were to become one?"

But Belle was tired of her game, and threw herself boisterously on a young lady who had the "sweetest enamel necklace in the world," and whose ornaments she began to handle and admire in true spoilt-child fashion. Sir Amyas then betook himself to the Major, who saw at once by his eye and step that something was gained.
