"Remember mumps," he warned her almost threateningly, and off he went again. But she was prejudiced in Wendy's favour, and he was really the grander character of the two. "I have one pound seventeen here, and two and six at the office I can cut off my coffee at the office, say ten shillings, making two nine and six, with your eighteen and three makes three nine seven, with five naught naught in my cheque-book makes eight nine seven-who is that moving?-eight nine seven, dot and carry seven-don't speak, my own-and the pound you lent to that man who came to the door-quiet, child-dot and carry child-there, you've done it!-did I say nine nine seven? yes, I said nine nine seven the question is, can we try it for a year on nine nine seven?" "Now don't interrupt," he would beg of her. She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way his way was with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again. Darling's bed, holding her hand and calculating expenses, while she looked at him imploringly. Darling was frightfully proud of her, but he was very honourable, and he sat on the edge of Mrs.
Wendy came first, then John, then Michael.įor a week or two after Wendy came it was doubtful whether they would be able to keep her, as she was another mouth to feed. She drew them when she should have been totting up. Darling was married in white, and at first she kept the books perfectly, almost gleefully, as if it were a game, not so much as a Brussels sprout was missing but by and by whole cauliflowers dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces.
Of course no one really knows, but he quite seemed to know, and he often said stocks were up and shares were down in a way that would have made any woman respect him. He was one of those deep ones who know about stocks and shares. Darling used to boast to Wendy that her mother not only loved him but respected him. Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it, but I can picture him trying, and then going off in a passion, slamming the door. He never knew about the box, and in time he gave up trying for the kiss. He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her. Darling won her was this: the many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they loved her, and they all ran to her house to propose to her except Mr. Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East, however many you discover there is always one more and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy could never get, though there it was, perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner. She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth. Of course they lived at 14, and until Wendy came her mother was the chief one. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, "Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!" This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother.
They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this.
