&lsquo;If only I knew what to do with you girls!&rsquo; said Dick in worried tones.<br />&lsquo;Oh, you needn&rsquo;t worry about us!&rsquo; replied Madge.<br />&lsquo;Talk sense! I&rsquo;m the only man there is in the family&mdash;except Great-Uncle William; and he&rsquo;s not much use!&rsquo;<br />&lsquo;Jolly well he isn&rsquo;t! Poor dear! He&rsquo;s all gout and crutches.&rsquo; And Madge threw back her head with a merry laugh.<br />&lsquo;Well then! I ask you!&rsquo;<br />She got up from her seat on the Chesterfield, and walked across the room to her brother. &lsquo;Dear old Dick! You really mustn&rsquo;t worry about Joey and me. We shall be all right!&rsquo;
