"I would," said Alicia. "I'd just love to live here, in a house like Uncle Jeff's, and have all these cars and servants and everything fine."
"No, thank you," Dolly rejoined. "It's beautiful for a week, but it makes my head go round to think of living like this always."
"Your head is not very securely fastened on, anyway," and Alicia grinned at her. "You'll lose it some day!"

"The Lass and the Lascar" was its name, and the lass in question was a charming little girl who seemed no older than the quartette themselves.

All four were fond of music and even more than the gay splendour of the show they enjoyed the voices and orchestra.
