Gladys, the Reaper

CHAPTER XIV
16/23

I shall show you as much as I can of London to-morrow, mother, as you will be obliged to return the day after.' 'Deet now, I did be thinking I should stay a week in London, now I am going there for the first time in my life?
I'll be staying after you, Howel, bach.

I've plenty of money now.' 'You shall come up again to meet us when we return; but you must be at home to see to the house, and let us know what is said of our doings.
You see we shall go direct to Paris, stay some time abroad, and then come and settle at home.

Won't we astonish the county! Mr and Mrs Howel Jenkins will be no longer the Howel and Netta of old days; we shall be the upon, not the fawners!' 'I'd scorn to fawn on any one, Howel,' says Netta indignantly; 'I never did in my life.

I always gave Miss Rice Rice as big a stare as she gave me.' 'You will be able to give her a bigger now,' laughs Howel.

As they journeyed on, Howel pointed out all the different objects that were likely to interest his mother and Netta.
