"e;What, all of us?"e; said he. "e;To be sure. All of us. Why not? We'll start to-morrow."e; "e;Oh dear!"e; exclaimed Mrs. Todhetley, dismay in her mild tones. "e;Children and all?"e; "e;Children and all; and take Hannah to see to them,"e; said the Squire. "e;You don't count, Joe: you will be off elsewhere."e; "e;We could never be ready,"e; said the Mater, looking the image of perplexity. "e;To-morrow's Friday. Besides, there would be no time to write to Mary."e; "e;Write to her!"e; cried the Squire, turning sharply on his heel as he paced the room in his nankeen morning-coat. "e;And who do you suppose is going to write to her? Why, it would cause her to make all sorts of preparation, put her to no end of trouble. A pretty conjurer you'd make! We will take her by surprise: that's what we will do."e;"e;
