"Had something else to do."
"Had to go driving with cousin Crœsus, eh?"
"If you saw me, why didn't you bow?"
"Why have you got your hair up? In honor of cousin Crœsus? Don't look at me like that or I shall cry." His frank face wore a broad smile. "I like your hair up; you look scrumptious."
"Hush! and listen to the exquisite playing."
"I ain't musical like cousin Crœsus. Your singing's the only music I care about."
"You don't care about it; you only pretend."
"I assure you, on my honor—"
"Sh! cousin Ethan's looking at us."
