Mr. Westabrook bent on the Robin the most amused of his smiles.
“Yes,” he said.
“And an automobile?” Tim asked.
Mr. Westabrook turned to the Bogle. “Yes,” he said, a little puzzled.
“And did Maida’s mother have a gold brush with her initials in diamonds on it?” Rosie asked.
Mr. Westabrook roared. “Yes,” he said.
“And have you got twelve peacocks, two of them white?” Arthur asked.
“Yes.”
“And has Maida a little theater of her own and a doll-house as big as a cottage?” Laura asked.
