Frank laughed, and ran off towards the refreshment-rooms. He was gone some time, and Arthur had time to think. When Frank rejoined him he began again.
"Well, now I feel jolly; I am not thirsty, and I feel as refreshed as possible."
"So do I," said Arthur, smiling slightly.
"How?"
Arthur pointed to a water tap close by.
"Nonsense! that's a very different thing. But, seriously, Arthur, do you mean to be judged for and petticoat governed all your life?"
"No," said Arthur, frowning; "but in this matter it is no petticoat government; I have made up my mind."
"You are too young yet to know."
"Very likely; but let the matter be, Frank. In some things you know a great deal more than I do, and better too, I daresay, but not in this."
Frank waved his hand airily, and rose up to go to the monkey-house, and Arthur followed, all the stronger for his victory.
