"Oh, well, that's all right," said Archie. "It's on the estate. Thomas, you and Simpson won't mind that a bit, will you?" "We can't turn Samuel out of his own house," said Myra indignantly. "We aren't turning him; he wants to go. But, of course, if you and your young man would like to live there instead--" Myra looked at me eagerly. "It would be rather fun," she said. "We'd have another little honeymoon all to ourselves." "It wouldn't really be a honeymoon," I objected. "We should always be knocking up against trippers in the garden, Archies and Samuels and Thomases and what not. They'd be all over the place." Dahlia explained the domestic arrangements. The honeymooners had their little breakfast in their own little house, and then joined the others for the day at about ten. "Or eleven," said Thomas. "It would be rather lovely," said Myra thoughtfully. "Yes," I agreed; "but have you considered that--Come over this way a moment, where Thomas and Simpson can't hear, while I tell you some of the disadvantages." |
