And when Baby heard the rooks, one tear went, for it made her think of her home in the Hall several miles off.
And when the Junior Subaltern saw Baby's tear go, his tear went too: for his heart was pretty juicy still.
So Baby pulled up Puck, while mannikin ran to his head to show he knew all about it.
Then Baby looked over the gate, and said, rather trembly,
"Why not this?"
So the Junior Subaltern glanced over his shoulder, and whispered,
"Cause you can't," and pointed to a great notice-board in the garden that said in huge letters,
GO AWAY.
But Baby cheered up and cocked her nose, and said to show him,
"Can't I, Boy? Can," and she whipped up Puck, and nearly ran over mannikin, and went up the drive under the elms in the dusk.
