"And who serves them that have no garden?" asked Aunt Catherine, sticking her gold glasses over her nose, and looking at us. "None of us do," said Arthur, after thinking for a minute. "Humph!" said Aunt Catherine. Next time Chris was asked to luncheon, I was asked too. Father laughed at me, and teased me, but I went. I was very much amused by the airs which Chris gave himself at table. He was perfectly well-behaved, but, in his quiet old-fashioned way, he certainly gave himself airs. We have only one man indoors--James; but Aunt Catherine has three--a butler, a footman, and a second footman. The second footman kept near Christopher, who sat opposite Aunt Catherine (she made me sit on one side), and seemed to watch to attend upon him; but if Christopher did want any thing, he always ignored this man, and asked the butler for it, and called him by his name. After a bit, Aunt Catherine began to talk about the game again. "Have you got any one to serve them that have no garden, yet?" she asked. Christopher shook his head, and said "No." "Humph," said Aunt Catherine; "better take me into the game." "Could you be of any use?" asked Christopher. "Toast and water, Chambers." The butler nodded, as majestically as Chris himself, to the second footman, who flew to replenish the silver mug, which had been Lady Catherine's when she was a little girl. When Christopher had drained it (he is a very thirsty boy), he repeated the question: "Do you think you could be of any use?" Mr. Chambers, the butler, never seems to hear anything that people say, except when they ask for something to eat or drink; and he does not often hear that, because he watches to see what you want, and gives it of himself, or sends it by the footman. He looks just as if he was having his photograph taken, staring at a point on the wall and thinking of nothing; but when Christopher repeated his question I saw Chambers frown. I believe he thinks Christopher presumes on Lady Catherine's kindness, and does not approve of it. It is quite the other way with Aunt Catherine. Just when you would think she must turn angry, and scold Chris for being rude, she only begins to laugh, and shakes like a jelly (she is very stout), and encourages him. She said-- "Take care all that toast and water doesn't get into your head, Chris." She said that to vex him, because, ever since he heard that he had water on the brain, Chris is very easily affronted about his head. He was affronted now, and began to eat his bread-and-butter pudding in silence, Lady Catherine still shaking and laughing. Then she wiped her eyes, and said-- "Never mind, old man, I'm going to tell you something. Put the sugar and cream on the table, Chambers, and you needn't wait." The men went out very quietly, and Aunt Catherine went on--
