Andthis arrangement grew to be a settled thing, for it really was almostimpossible to play the usual games with Ethelwyn; there was no sort ofcheck on her overbearing ways, because "she was a visitor, " and must doas she liked. Now, she was a very poor hand at "making up, " and did notunderstand "Shipwrecks" or "Desert Islands" in the least; but this wouldnot have mattered if she had been willing to learn. Joined, however, tocomplete ignorance on those subjects, she had a large amount of concei...t, and seemed to think she could do everything better than anyone else. For instance, if they were going to play "Shipwrecks"--"I'll becaptain, " she would exclaim at once. This had always been Ambrose'spart, and he rather prided himself on his knowledge of nautical affairs, gathered from a wide acquaintance with Captain Marryat's stories. Hegave it up politely to Ethelwyn, however, and the game began. But intwo minutes she would say: "I'm tired of being captain; I'd rather beIndian savages. " Indian savages was being performed with great spiritby Nancy, but the change was made, and the game went on, until Ethelwyncast an envious eye upon Dickie, who, with a small pail and broom, wasearnestly scrubbing at the carpet, under the impression that she was acabin-boy washing the deck of a ship.
