Gail referred to Tiddy's desertion with her usual note of indolent amusement it did not occur to Joy till years later that Gail might occasionally pretend a superiority to such things as annoy other girls and summoned another man from the city for week-ends. Tiddy was indigenous to the soil.
The rest of this week, after tomorrow night, you are going to have to spend exclusively in spoiling me. I'm twice as deserving as a high-school girl, and three times as deserving as Clarence and Tiddy. And I've more right to you, besides." "If you want rights, sometimes you have to take them," said Joy demurely. He laughed. "Is that a suggestion? If so, it's an excellent one.
While they're in session th' gov'nor is in contimpt iv coort, the coorts ar-re in contimpt iv th' gov'nor, an' if annybody but Tiddy Rosenfclt has anny other feelin' f'r ayether iv thim I haven't heerd him speak." "They ought to fire out the raypublican," said Mr. Hennessy. "Sure 'tis comin' to a nice state iv affairs whin th' likes iv him can defy the coorts." "Thrue f'r ye," said Mr. Dooley.
Clarence couldn't very well do or say anything to his host, but he looked far from pleased as John took Joy's hand and quietly led her into line. Tiddy came up just then with a pretty, dark little girl whom he had selected with great judgment from the guests as being just of a height between Joy and Gail.
Meanwhile Joy, walking up and down in the garden paths and memorizing her part, had been found by John, who was trying to lure her off for a ride. "Nobody can find us on a galloping car," he said persuasively. But Joy was more steadfast than Phyllis. "I expect Tiddy over to rehearse with me," she said. "He will be here in about five minutes.
And when I have a bloater for my breakfast I'm partial to a bloater it's black outside, as if it was done in the cinders; and then inside well, I like them done all through, like any other man. Then I can't get her to get me gammon rashers. She will get these little tiddy rashers, with little white bones in them. Why, while you're cutting them out the bacon gets cold.
"I shall probably have to take the leading man's part on the night," she told him. "Oh, I forgot it was you, Tiddy I beg your pardon. Well, Clarence's, then. And until that awful moment, let me be happy in obscurity!" Joy, who had Iolanthe's long, hard part to learn, and was delighted with the idea, fixed her eyes on the opposite wall and tried to remember what she had to say first.
My lord began trotting up and down the room, with his fat hands stuck in his britchis pockits, his countnince lighted up with igstream joy, and singing, to my inordnit igstonishment: "See the conquering hero comes! Tiddy diddy doll tiddy doll, doll, doll." He began singing this song, and tearing up and down the room like mad. I stood amazd a new light broke in upon me.
Two weeks before Tiddy would have lowered his voice in reverence at Gail's name. Then he glanced across at Joy, sitting close by Phyllis in her gauzes, with her wonderful bronze-gold hair hanging around her like a mantle, and conceded within himself that it was not so surprising after all. Sure enough, Gail was unable to bear much weight on her foot by the next day.
Tiddy, whom his wife had married for love, and who was now well to do, a fine-looking man, with large whiskers, and a Roman nose, a little awry.
