Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown ups have another kind. At this moment, Uncle Andrew was beginning to be very silly in a very grown up way. Now that the which was no longer in the same room with him, he was quickly forgetting how she had frightened him and thinking more and more of her wonderful beauty, he kept on saying to himself, Ah, dem fine woman, sir. A dem fine woman. A superb creature. He also somehow managed to forget that it was the Children who had got hold of this superb creature. He felt as if he himself by his magic, had called her out of unknown worlds. And do my boy, he said to himself he looked in the glass. You're a devilish, well preserved fellow for your age. A distinguished looking man, sir. You see, the foolish old man was actually beginning to imagine the which would fall in love with him. The two drinks probably had something to do with it, and so had his best clothes. But he was, in any case, as vain as a peacock. That was why he had become a magician. He unlocked the door went downstairs, sent the house, made out to fetch a handsome. Everyone had lots of servants in those days and looked into the drawing room there, as he expected, he found Aunt Letty. She was busily mending a mattress. It lay on the floor near the window, and she was kneeling on it. Ah, let it see on my dear said, Uncle Andrew, I have to go out. Just lend me £5 or so. There's a good girl. Girl was the way he pronounced girl. No, en drum idea, said Aunt Letty in her firm quiet voice, without looking up from her work. I've told you times without number that I will not lend you money.
