It was already dark as dark at least as a clear night in the English June can be when Skinner or his head at any rate came into the bar of the Jolly Drovers and said: "Ello! You 'aven't 'eard anything of thith 'ere thtory bout my 'enth, 'ave you?" "Oh, 'aven't we!" said Mr. Fulcher.
And we may have to sleep out-of-doors, but it will not have been the first time for the Meadow-Brook Girls." "Ith thith the thurprithe that you were going to give us?" asked Tommy innocently. "It is a surprise to me, dear. This isn't the place I thought it was at all. The joke is that I don't know where the right place is."
But I tell you what I'll do, Thquire; I'll drive your thon and thith young man over to the rail, and prevent expothure here. I can't conthent to do more, but I'll do that. Fresh lamentations from Louisa, and deeper affliction on Mr. Gradgrind's part, followed this desertion of them by their last friend.
"I think a fairy must have touched the world with her wand and changed it into something else during the night," replied Harriet. "But don't you know where you are, Miss Elting?" "I do not. Do you?" "I think I do." "I know," piped Tommy. "We are on the water. I wath in it earlier thith morning." No one gave any heed to Tommy's pleasantry.
"You are now three thousand five hundred feet in the air," announced the guide, rather proudly. "Ith that what maketh Buthter tho uppithh thith afternoon?" questioned Tommy. "It may be what makes you so light-headed," retorted Margery. "There! Now, will you be good?" jeered Jane. "Yeth. That wath a good one. Too bad you don't thay thomething bright every day.
She climbed aboard the boat, grumbling to herself, and proceeded to dress without further delay. "For goodness' sake, Tommy, what is the matter?" demanded Harriet, sitting up in bed, rubbing her blinking eyes. "Did you fall into the lake again?" "I gueth I had a bath thith morning," answered Tommy. "An impromptu plunge, I should call it," answered Harriet smiling.
'I wanth t' get t' the Thouthern outporth, where there'th life. They ithn't no life here. An' I'm tho wonderful tired o' all thith! Tumm, says she, 'no man ever afore athked me t' marry un, an' I 'low I better take thith one. He'th on'y a fool, says she, 'but not even a fool ever come courtin' me, an' I 'low nobody but a fool would. On'y a fool, Tumm! says she.
You pay attention to your driving exclusively," added Miss Elting. "And, girls, you keep a sharp lookout, too." "Where ith thith Lonethome Cove?" questioned Tommy. "I don't like the thound of the name." "You will like it when you get there," answered the guardian. "But I said I would not tell you anything about it. Time enough when we reach there. You shall then see for yourselves.
"You ain't goin' to play any trick," remonstrated his relative, "like you did when you got me to say grandmother, grandmother, thith thith thith, and then hit my chin and made me bite my tongue?" Robert was forced to chuckle at the recollection, but he assured aunt Corinne that grandmother, grandmother, thith thith thith was far from his thoughts.
"Big as a horse," said Mr. Bensington. "Pretty near," said Mr. Skinner. "Several people could dine off a wing!" said Mr. Bensington. "They'd cut up into joints like butcher's meat." "They won't go on growing at thith pathe though," said Mr. Skinner. "No?" said Mr. Bensington. "No," said Mr. Skinner. "I know thith thort. They begin rank, but they don't go on, bleth you! No." There was a pause.
