"Because we're going by an early train to-morrow, and mummy says everything must be ready to-night."
"Going!" he gasped. "Going where?"
"We're all going to Kingussie for August."
"I'm not going, I don't want to go. I want to stay here, wiv all my fends.... Do you," he asked anxiously, "want to go to Kingussie?"
Nurse looked flushed and rather cross.
"I'm not asked," she muttered, "what I want, nor you neither, Teddy. Give me that doll at once, and I'll pack him with the other toys."
Teddy stared stonily at her, nor made the smallest effort to surrender his doll.
"I'm not going," he said firmly, "not to-morrow. Why, I haven't said good-bye to none of them, have you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," said nurse huffily; "give me that doll at once, you know I don't allow disobedience."
And as she spoke she made a grab at the doll.
