But a laugh of amusement from him and his son let them into the secret that it was but a false alarm, the trick of a ventriloquist, and they resumed their seats as hastily as they had arisen from them. "Oh, oh," cried Ned, "I'm so afraid my dear papa will get hurt! Uncle Harold and Uncle Herbert, won't you go and help papa fight those bad men? Please go quick! Oh, please do!"
I like Lucy, and you don't there lies the difference between us. Lucy misunderstood you. She said that, instead of going to bed, you were making a most awful noise, reciting poetry to yourself in two distinct voices, and that an extraordinary noise came from under the bed, and you declared it was rats.

M. Auber stopped me as I was passing by the table. "Well, little girl," he said, "that was very good indeed. M. Provost and M. Beauvallet both want you in their class."

Oscar was most interested in his apprenticeship to the ventriloquist. "It must have been jolly fun," he said. "I shouldn't mind travelling round with him myself. Can you perform any tricks?" "A few," said Harry. "Show me some, that's a good fellow." "If you won't show others. Professor Henderson wouldn't like to have his tricks generally known.
