Roy told him everything, right from the first.
“And what is your father’s name?” was the only question that had to be asked. When he heard this, the Miss Bannisters’ brother rose. “You must stay here a minute,” he said.
“But—but the lesson?” Roy exclaimed. “You know I ought to be getting back again. Christina—”
“All right, just a minute,” Mr. Theodore replied.
When the Miss Bannisters’ brother came back, Miss Selina came with him. “Come and get tidy for dinner,” she said, “and afterwards we’ll drive home.”
“Oh, but I can’t stop for dinner!” Roy cried. “It’s much too important to stop for dinner; I’m not really hungry either.”
“I’M NOT YOUR DOCTOR. I’M A DOLL’S DOCTOR.”
