Even Robert shook quite weakly with laughter. His face was red, his eyes full of dancing water. Yet he managed to articulate. "I say, you know, you'll bring the old man down." Then he went off again into spasms. "Hu! Hu!" whooped Jim, subsiding. "Hu!" He rolled over on to his back, and lay silent. The others also became weakly silent. "What's amiss?" said Aaron Sisson, breaking this spell.
To be sure if any one had told Di so, she would have flouted the very idea. Besides, she had privately informed Almira Sisson, her special particular confidante, that she knew Jim would come home from college full of conceit, and thinking that everybody must bow down to him, and for her part she meant to make him know his place.
