Tom, we'd better come to your rooms, and you invite him there." Larcher was not enamored of that idea. A man does not like to invite another to the particular kind of surprise-party intended on this occasion. His share in the entertainment would be disagreeable enough at best, without any questionable use of the forms of hospitality.
Christenings, weddings, and funerals, especially the latter, are the main dependence; but babies, brides, and deceased citizens cannot be had at a day's notice. Now, then, for a surprise-party!
"I am a sort of surprise-party," he answered, swinging Ethel to the ground and watching her scamper off to the hotel; "and what is more," he continued, turning to him, "I have not brought a hamper, which makes one of me." "You calculate without your host," responded Levice; "this is a veritable land of milk and honey. Come up and listen to my wife rhapsodize."
All I meant to say, when I began, was, that this was not a surprise-party where I read these few lines that follow: We will not speak of years to-night; For what have years to bring, But larger floods of love and light And sweeter songs to sing? We will not drown in wordy praise The kindly thoughts that rise; If friendship owns one tender phrase, He reads it in our eyes.
Returning to the surprise-party, we all moved cautiously forward toward the object which I had seen; and when within a hundred yards of it, I once more left the men, and crawled forward, as before, to reconnoitre.
The good woman must have sent over most of the supper she had intended them to eat with her, and this, together with the good things sent in by other neighbors, so loaded the table that Mark declared it looked like a regular surprise-party supper.
"Miss Smith can have my racket; I'm not going to play any longer!" "Not going to play? What do you mean?" shouted Will. "I mean that I am not used to a surprise-party and to playing with strangers," was the rude and angry answer. "You you ought to " But Will controlled himself and stopped. He was about to say, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself."
"Oh, it doesn't make any difference whether you want to come or not; this isn't your picnic it's ours," was the cheery response of the first ghost; and the other black Crows fairly cawed with delight. Still Tug argued: "What right have you men got to come into my room without being invited?" "It's just a little surprise-party we've planned."
