"Yes, I have."
"What a bung!" exclaimed Bertram. "You've only read A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Round the World in Eighty Days."
Then he remembered Frida's attitude. "Look here, if you take the fireman's uniform you can set fire to Frida's house."
Frida yelled her refusal.
"And put it out, you little idiot," Bertram added.
"And put it out," Viola echoed.
Frida rushed to her mother.
"Mother, mother, don't let them burn my dolls'-house! Mother, you won't, will you? Bertram wants to burn it."
"Naughty Bertram!" said Edith. "But he's only teasing you, darling."
"Good lummy, what a sneak," Bertram commented, bitterly, to his sister.
