about children myself。'
So Mrs。 Orange�察 �having seen that baby was safe�察 �went back without
Mr。 Orange to the room where the children were having supper。
'What are they doing now��' said Mrs。 Orange to Mrs。 Alicumpaine。
'They are making speeches�察 �and playing at parliament��' said Mrs。
Alicumpaine to Mrs。 Orange。
On hearing this�察 �Mrs。 Orange set off once more back again to Mr。
Orange�察 �and said�察 �'James dear�察 �do come。 The children are playing at
parliament。'
'Thank you�察 �my dear��' said Mr。 Orange�察 �'but I don't care about
parliament myself。'
So Mrs。 Orange went once again without Mr。 Orange to the room
where the children were having supper�察�to see them playing at parliament。
And she found some of the boys crying�察 �'Hear�察 �hear�察 �hear��' while other
boys cried 'No�察 �no��' and others�察 �'Question��' 'Spoke��' and all sorts of
nonsense that ever you heard。 Then one of those tiresome fat boys who
had stopped the doorway told them he was on his legs ��as if they couldn't

see that he wasn't on his head�察�or on his anything else�� to explain�察�and that�察�
with the permission of his honourable friend�察�if he would allow him to call
him so ��another tiresome boy bowed���察 �he would proceed to explain。
Then he went on for a long time in a sing´song ��whatever he meant���察�did
this troublesome fat boy�察�about that he held in his hand a glass�察�and about
that he had come down to that house that night to discharge what he would
call a public duty�察�and about that�察�on the present occasion�察�he would lay
his hand ��his other hand�� upon his heart�察 �and would tell honourable
gentlemen that he was about to open the door to general approval。 Then
he opened the door by saying�察 �'To our hostess��' and everybody else said
'To our hostess��' and then there were cheers。 Then another tiresome boy
started up in sing´ song�察�and then half a dozen noisy and nonsensical boys
at once。 But at last Mrs。 Alicumpaine said�察�'I cannot have this din。 Now�察�
children�察�you have played at parliament very nicely�察 �but parliament gets
tiresome after a little while�察�and it's time you left off�察�for you will soon be
fetched。'
After another dance ��with more tearing to rags than before supper���察�
they began to be fetched�察 �and you will be very glad to be told that the
tiresome fat boy who had been on his legs was walked off first without
any ceremony。 When they were all gone�察 �poor Mrs。 Alicumpaine
dropped upon a sofa�察�and said to Mrs。 Orange�察�'These children will be the
death of me at last�察�ma'am�察 � they will indeed��'
'I quite adore them�察 �ma'am��' said Mrs。 Orange�察 �'but they DO want
variety。'
Mr。 Orange got his hat�察�and Mrs。 Orange got her bonnet and her baby�察�
and they set out to walk home。 They had to pass Mrs。 Lemon's
preparatory establishment on their way。
'I wonder�察 �James dear��' said Mrs。 Orange�察 �looking up at the window�察�
'whether the precious children are asleep��'
'I don't care much whether they are or not�察�myself��' said Mr。 Orange。
'James dear��'
'You dote upon them�察 �you know��' said Mr。 Orange。 'That's another
thing。'
'I do��' said Mrs。 Orange rapturously。 'O�察�I DO��'

'I don't��' said Mr。 Orange。
'But I was thinking�察�James love��' said Mrs。 Orange�察�pressing his arm�察�
'whether our dear�察 �good�察 �kind Mrs。 Lemon would like them to stay the
holidays with her。'
'If she was paid for it�察�I daresay she would��' said Mr。 Orange。
'I adore them�察�James��' said Mrs。 Orange�察�'but SUPPOSE we pay her�察�
then��'
This was what brought that country to such perfection�察 �and made it
such a delightful place to live in。 The grown´up people ��that would be in
other countries�� soon left off being allowed any holidays after Mr。 and Mrs。
Orange tried the experiment�察 �and the children ��that would be in other
countries�� kept them at school as long as ever they lived�察�and made them
do whatever they were told。
