A happy thought, a cross-country journey, a strange discovery, another happy thought, and many still happier thoughts hereafter!
Jack said: Nonsense! We are all grown up now. Let Christmas alone. Take no notice of it; treat it as if it were an ordinary day.
Margaret said: The servants have all begged for leave. Most of their mothers are dying, and if they are not, it's a sister who is going to be married. Really, it's a servants' ball which the Squire is giving in the village hall. Mean, I call it, to decoy one's maids just when one needs them most!
Tom said: Beastly jolly dull show anyhow, to spend the day alone with your brothers and sisters. Better chuck it at once!
