Froggatt's coming doubtful. Felix took a second survey of the applications. 'Now, Fee, do think about this; I am in earnest. 'So am I, Lance; I am very thankful to you, but it is not to be thought of. 'Why not? Am I too small? For that's mending. There's one good thing in being ill, it sets one growing.
'Oh, then he minds so much that one can't do it, you know. 'What, does he punish you ? 'N no he never licks any of us now but he is so horridly sorry and it bothers him so, said Lance. 'Here's old Froggatt's, he concluded, stopping at the glass door. Burrowes, that's Redstone; Felix is out there, getting out the sermon paper for that fat one, and that's old Froggy himself, bowing away.
Froggatt's message, and see what she thinks. Poor children! their consternation was such, that they must judge by their own eyes of Felix without loss of time; so they both marched into the shop with Mr.
The colour rose in the pale face. 'He is a very dear boy, she said. 'I should like to see him before I go. Is he at home? 'Lance shall run and call him, said Alda; but the Bishop had asked where he was, and Wilmet had, not unblushingly, for she was red with pleasure, but shamelessly, answered that he was at Mr. Froggatt's, offering to send Lance in search of him.
He was up and about in the morning; but when at noon Bernard rushed in from school, he was neither in the drawing-room, garden, nor office, and the door of his or rather Mr. Froggatt's bedroom was locked. Bernard bounced at it, calling, 'Let me in, I say; I'll not make a row. 'There aren't any more of you? parleyed Lance. 'No! Let me in, I say! kicking at the panels 'I must speak to you!
Froggatt's room, Bernard raying, roaring, dancing, and stamping, in an over-mastering passion, and tearing some paper up with teeth and hands.
'There are only two bedrooms in this house fit for that boy in his present state yours and Mr. Froggatt's. Which shall we have, Wilmet? 'Mr. Froggatt's, she answered at once. 'If you will not have another cup, I'll get it ready for him at once. 'I've just done. I'll come and help you. But where can the boy be? In the garden? 'No, said Wilmet, taking a survey from the window.
There, Lance! said Felix, in a gratified provoking tone of discovery. 'In one sense, said Wilmet, walking down before him. 'I am very glad you have found it out, added Felix, as they entered Mr. Froggatt's cool well-blinded bedroom, the only well-furnished one in the house. 'It is no laughing matter, said Wilmet seriously. 'That's well, was the dry answer.
'I had rather he would show me the way, said the Bishop. 'Will you, my boy? The way to Mr. Froggatt's was not very long, but it was long enough to overcome Lance's never very large amount of bashfulness; and he had made reply that he went to the Grammar School, and was in the second form, that he liked singing in the choir better than no, not than anything anything except except what?
'Felix, if you only knew what the housekeeping mounted up in that unhappy month that I was away! I did not like to tell you before, but 'Well! at the dreadful pause.
