"From Jack and Jill's--the House that Jack Built, you know." "You mean--Mr.John Gurnsey's house ?" A deeper color had come into Miss Holbrook's cheeks.
"Yes.

You can't see THEIR house from here, but from over there we can see the towers finely, and the little window--Oh, Lady of the Roses," he broke off excitedly, at the new thought that had come to him, "if we, now, were in that little window, we COULD see their house.

Let's go up.

Can't we ?" Explicit as this was, Miss Holbrook evidently did not hear, or at least did not understand, this request.
