And I'm forgetting. I can't remember at all about the funny water and the twee with the flowers, and all of it. Wosie, you 'member Whisper." And Rose offered in her own mysterious, taciturn way the desired comfort. And then, of course, the crisis arrived. I am sorry about this part of the story.
She loved Constance's nonsense because it was never more than that. Stefan's absurdities were always personal and, often, not without a hidden sting. "Well," Constance went on, "you must be particularly 'twee' then, to James' mother, who is a Quaker from Philadelphia, and an American gentlewoman of the old school.
"Twee, twee, twee-e-e, tweetle, weetle, tee, tee, tee-e!" piped the boatswain, following up his shrill music with the hoarse bellow of: "All hands clear for action. Now then, old stew-pan," to the cook "dowse your galley-fire, my hearty, and stow away all your best chiney down in the run. Tumble up there, you bull-dogs, tumble up!"
The children searched and searched, and after a long time did actually discover the crooked and badly made bow and the blunt arrow. "Here they is, the darlin's!" cried Diana. "My own bow, my own arrow how I loves 'em! Now, Orion, I is going to shoot you for pwactice, you know, and then you shall shoot me for pwactice too. You stand up there against the twee, and I'll make good shots.
Her incoherence vanished as she grasped at a practical consideration. "But let Milly take you up stairs and get your things off," she said with an air as of one who solves problems. "Are you truly Cothin Nelly?" Joy lisped. "All wight; come thee my twee." Though she couldn't recognise me as the cousin of a few weeks earlier, the child was eager to claim me as a new friend.
So I escaped with her and Milly to the nursery, where I stayed as long as I dared, letting my cheeks cool. "The twee ith mine and Mamma'th," said Joy; "we're the only oneth young enough to have Christhmath twees, Papa thayth." "Hoh, guess I'm younger'n Mamma, ain't I?" scoffed my other little cousin who had been sent to inquire into our delay.
Here is how Dutch boys do it: Een, twee, sen kopje thee; Een, klotje er bij, Af ben jij! Along the Rhine this is popular: Ene, tene, mone, mei, Paster, lone, bone, strei, Ene, fune, herke, berke, Wer? Wie? Wo? Was? The poet Pope says, "The proper study of mankind is man."
"Thou's gotten ower mony yowes to thy stint, Thomas Moon," he would say to a farmer who was trying to get the better of his neighbours. "Nay, Peregrine, I reckon I've nobbut eighty, and they're lile 'uns at that." "Eighty's thy stint, but thou's gotten eighty-twee; thou can tak heam wi' thee twee o' yon three-yeer-owds, an' mind thou counts straight next yeer."
I can only think of sheep, which doesn't sound well." "I'm afraid we should say it was 'twee' in England," Mary smiled, "which sounds worse." "Yes, I'd rather my house were a sheep than a 'twee, because I do at least know that a sheep is useful, and I'm sure a 'twee' can't be." "It's not a noun, Constance, but an adjective, meaning sweet," translated Mary, laughing.
