'You look so stately, like a country Baroness,' said Ursula, laughing
with a little tenderness at her mother's naive puzzled air.
'JUST like a country Baroness!' chimed in Gudrun. Now the mother's
natural hauteur became self-conscious, and the girls shrieked again.
'Go home, you pair of idiots, great giggling idiots!' cried the father
inflamed with irritation.
'Mm-m-er!' booed Ursula, pulling a face at his crossness.
The yellow lights danced in his eyes, he leaned forward in real rage.
'Don't be so silly as to take any notice of the great gabies,' said Mrs
Brangwen, turning on her way.
'I'll see if I'm going to be followed by a pair of giggling yelling
jackanapes--' he cried vengefully.
The girls stood still, laughing helplessly at his fury, upon the path
beside the hedge.
'Why you're as silly as they are, to take any notice,' said Mrs
Brangwen also becoming angry now he was really enraged.
'There are some people coming, father,' cried Ursula, with mocking
warning.
