CHAPTER V.
THE CRAMERS OF CRAMERSVILLE.

“You are a little goose, Ada.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank me for calling you a goose! What
do you mean ?”

“T only mean that I am obliged to you for
not being violent, when I see you are displeased
with me,” was the gentle reply of Ada Cramer,
to her brother George.

The brother, however, was not appeased by
the gentleness of his sister; he continued:
“You wish to provoke me, Ada, by your
pretended mildness. I know you do. Look
out, or I shall be in a blaze. I tell you, I will
not bear the insolence and pride of any
English boy on earth.”
