'All right, then. Stay here. Now, if we run, Miss Sperrit whispered to Midmore, 'she'll follow us. Not too fast!
"I don't want you to go, dad," she said feelingly; "but I like staying along with this good lady," with a friendly nod of her head to Mrs. Sullivan. "I have got a black kitten of my own and a yellow chick, and they are better than dolls because they can love me back. And the ladies from the Wood House are going to take me out for drives my, won't that be 'eavenly!"
"Vell, you see," continued the boy, "ven I'd made myself so disagreeable that the old gen'l'man would 'ave nothin' to do with me, I came straight away, an' 'ere I am; but it was a trial, let me tell you, specially ven 'e come to mention wages an sitch a 'eavenly smell o' roasted wittles come up from the kitchen too at the moment, but I 'ad only to look at Miss Di, to make me as stubborn as a nox or a hass. `Wot! thinks I to myself, `betray that hangel no, never! yet if I was to go into that 'ouse I know I'd do it, for daddy's got sitch a wheedlin' way with 'im w'en 'e likes, that I couldn't 'old hout long so I giv' old Swallowed-the-poker sitch a lot o' cheek that I thought 'e'd kick me right through the winder.
"I say," he asked after a time, "since we've come to enjoy ourselves why not do the thing thoroughly? What do you say to the theatre after this?" "The theatre! Well, you are gettin' on!
