"What d'you say to Windsor?"
But Winny absolutely refused to go to Windsor. She said there was one place she'd never been to, and that was Golder's Hill. You could get tea there.
"Right—O!" said Ranny. "We'll go to Golder's Hill."
"And take the children," Winny said.
Well, no, he rather thought he'd leave the kids behind for once.
"Oh, Ranny!" Voice and eyes reproached him. "You couldn't! You may never get a day like this again."
"I know. That's why," said Ranny.
The kids, Stanley, aged three, and Dossie, aged five, understanding perfectly well that they were being thrown over, began to cry.
"Daddy, take me—take me," sobbed Dossie.
"And me!" Stanley positively screamed it.
