and she says the twins have got the

In the course of this outburst 1s-

off her gloves, east them upon the

the mantlepiece and her hat to a side

over the back OF the Morris chair,
dumped five bundles of assorted shapes
and sizes into second chair and was
just about to cast herself into a third
when she caught sight of her father,
his open watch in his hands, evidently
timing something.
Dad closed the watch and then,
without answering Majorie. lifted a
warning hand at Marjorie's mother,
who had come into the room during
the harangue. and with the mechan-
ical movements OF habit was start
