User-Contributed Transcription near the fire, became rather a bore. Presently in walks the illustrious son + heir, dressed decently enough, but for a detestable pair of pantaloons. He was in a most amiable mood, but it was rather fatiguing, talking to four people at once; I wanted Sissy to sing but Sissy was capricious + wouldn't sing, so Piquee played some of his compositions, + presented me with several, which really were not so bad. Then we had tea, + looked at photographs, + I was a little bored, they were so oppresively amiable. At ten I rose to go. Piquee opened the carriage door, + then as usual intended to shake hands. I ignored that part of the programme entirely, + jumped into the carriage without looking at him. When I looked up to say good night, he had fled discomfited, + there was only Joe, who had evidently, hugely enjoyed his brother's defeat smiling maliciously in the lamp light.
