Excerpt: ...you must," Jean said. "Really, Mhor, you and Jock are sometimes very stupid." "Indeed you must not," said Lord Bidborough. "Forgive me, Miss Jean, if I am undermining your authority, but, really, one must have some say in what one is to be called. Why not call me Biddy?" "That might be too familiar," said Jock. "I think I would rather call you Richard Plantagenet." "Because it isn't my name?" "It sort of suits you," Jock said. "I like long names," said Mhor.

Excerpt: ...you must," Jean said. "Really, Mhor, you and Jock are sometimes very stupid." "Indeed you must not," said Lord Bidborough. "Forgive me, Miss Jean, if I am undermining your authority, but, really, one must have some say in what one is to be called. Why not call me Biddy?" "That might be too familiar," said Jock. "I think I would rather call you Richard Plantagenet." "Because it isn't my name?" "It sort of suits you," Jock said. "I like long names," said Mhor.

"Oh, all right, but I don't think it's very polite to go to bed when a visitor's in. It might make him think he ought to go away." Lord Bidborough laughed, and assured Mhor that he appreciated his delicacy of feeling. "There's a thing I want to ask you, anyway," said Mhor.-"Yes, I'm going to bed, Jean. Whether do you think Quentin Durward or Charlie Chaplin would be the better man in a fight?" Lord Bidborough gave the matter some earnest thought, and decided on Quentin Durward. "I told you that," said. Jock to Mhor. "Now, perhaps, you'll believe me." "I don't know," said Mhor, still doubtful. "Of course Quentin Durward had his sword-but you know that way Charlie has with a stick?" "Well, anyway, go to bed," said Jean, "and stop talking about that horrible little man.
