But even during this brutal punishment their memories returned with tenderest reminiscence to the experience of that afternoon. As one of them said, "it was a real treat." And although Quimbleton had plainly stated the relation in which he stood to Theodolinda Chuff, she had no less than two hundred and ten proposals of marriage, by mail, from those who had attended the seance.
Bleak is as nice a gentleman to mix 'em for as I ever see." "But what is this for?" asked Theodolinda, pointing to a beautiful marble cash register. "Surely Mr. Bleak doesn't have to BUY his drinks?" "No, ma'am," said Jerry, "but he likes to have 'em rung up same as customary. He says it makes it seem more natural. Here he is now!"
The other two were too seriously concerned for his welfare to laugh when they saw him. "Splendid!" cried Bleak. "Now you can lie down in Miss Chuff's car and if any one looks in they'll just think you're part of the furnishings." "And I think we'd better get back to the car without delay," said Theodolinda. "I'd like to get you out of this danger zone as soon as possible."
Theodolinda was looking at the five small bodies. She raised one of them gently, and sniffed gingerly. "Virgil," she said solemnly, "this is not mere slumber. These birds are drunk!" Quimbleton was about to speak when a grasshopper went by like an airplane, zooming in a twenty-foot leap.
"Ah?" said the Bishop, with mock politeness. "You relieve me greatly. I had thought you desired to claim me as father-in-law." "Oh, Parent!" cried Theodolinda; "How can you be so cruel? Sarcasm is such a low form of humor." "I am not trying to be humorous," said the Bishop grimly. "You, who were once the apple of my eye, are now only an apple of discord.
Ever after, the great old tomb has been called the Castle of St. Angelo. It was a troublous time, but Gregory was so much respected that he was able to keep Rome orderly and safe, and to make peace between the Emperor Maurice and the Lombards' king, Agilulf, who had an excellent wife, Theodolinda. She was a great friend of the Pope, wrote a letter to him, and did all she could to support him.
Its Cathedral is built on the site of a church founded by the Lombard Queen Theodolinda, dedicated to St John the Baptist. Monza has a Town-hall, and a royal summer Palace, both possessing ancient interest.
"Will you put it down in black and white, please?" He secured the Bishop's signature to a document giving instructions for the necessary legislation to be passed. Folding the precious paper in his pocket, Quimbleton faced the black-browed Bishop. He held Theodolinda by the hand. "I am sorry," he said, "that I should have forgotten to bring a ring with me.
Quimbleton saw the excursionists, a thousand or so, hastening through the park on foot and in huge sight-seeing cars where men with megaphones were roaring comments. One group of pedestrians bore a large banner lettered EGG NOG MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION OF CAMDEN, N. J. "Poor Mr. Bleak!" said Theodolinda. "On top of all that Scotch!"
Quimbleton assisted his wife to get out, and they sat down for a few minutes' rest under the tree. "What a heavenly spot!" cried Theodolinda, "I wonder where we are?" "Somewhere in New Jersey," said her husband. "I don't understand what was the matter with the air. It didn't act according to Hoyle." They gazed about them in some surprise at the opulent beauty of the scene.
