‘I declare the sun is coming out at last,’ says Lady Forster. ‘It is going to be a glorious evening. What a swindle! We have been quite done out of our day. I do call that maddening. Never mind, we must make up for it to-night. We will have—what shall we have, Dolly?’—to Miss Forbes. ‘A pillow scuffle? Yes; that will be the very thing. And, Susan, you shall stay and sleep and help us. And we’ll get the boys up. They would be splendid at it, and give even us points, I shouldn’t wonder.’ ‘I have promised Miss Barry,’ says Crosby, in a distinct tone, ‘to take Susan home this evening at six, and I’m afraid it is rather after that now. Will you go and put on your hat, Susan?’ END OF VOL. II. BILLING AND SONS, PRINTERS, GUILDFORD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES 1.
