As Mary, Matthew, and George were eating their lunch...

" I will ring for the nanny to take George up. " Said Mary.

" Okay, darling. " Said Matthew.

" Mama, do I have to have a nap? " Questioned George.

" Yes, and when you wake up, we will have dinner, and hear the surprise! " Exclaimed Mary.

" What surprise? " Questioned little George as he yawned.

" We don't know yet. " Replied Matthew.

" Have a good nap my darling. " Said Mary very caringly.


Later at supper...

" Where is George? " Asked Robert.

" He is not feeling well. So he will not be joining us. " Answered Mary.

" So what is the big news? " Questioned Matthew.

" Yes, I would like t know that as well. " Continued Mary.

" Well, when we were at the doctor's office, yesterday, they told me that I'm with child! " Exclaimed Cora.

" Wow! I can't believe it! " Exclaimed Matthew.

" Mama you are going to have a baby! " Exclaimed Mary.

" I know! We were to anxious to tell you! " Said Cora.

" That explains Papa. " Mary telling on Robert.

" What about Papa? " Said Cora curiously.

" Yes, what about me? " Said Robert.

" Matthew, told me that Papa was being very suspicious, and I guess that he couldn't hold it back. " Said Mary.

" Robert, You told Matthew. " Cora said sadly.

" No, I just chuckled and said we have something to tell them at supper. " Said Robert.

" Oh, that's a relief! I thought you ruined the surprise. " Replied Cora.

" No, I would never ruin the surprise, my Darling. Carson can you come over here for a moment? " Said Robert.

" Yes my lord. " Said Carson.

" Can you cancel the news about the baby on the paper? " Robert said very quietly.

" Very good my lord. " Said Carson.

And then they all turned in.
