demanded Judith . `` I -- I do n't know , '' faltered Salome . `` Firing -- at -- a -- mark -- on -- the -- henhouse -- door -- with -- new-laid -- eggs , '' said Judith with measured distinctness . `` He has broken every egg that was laid to-day except three . And as for the state of that henhouse door -- '' Judith paused , with an indignant gesture meant to convey that the state of the henhouse door must be left to Salome 's imagination , since the English language was not capable of depicting it . `` O Lionel Hezekiah , why will you do such things ? '' said Salome miserably . `` I -- did n't know it was wrong , '' said Lionel Hezekiah , bursting into prompt tears . `` I -- I thought it would be bully fun . Seems 's if everything what 's fun 's wrong . '' Salome 's heart was not proof against tears , as Lionel Hezekiah very well knew . She put her arm about the sobbing culprit , and drew him to her side . `` He did n't know it was wrong , '' she said defiantly to Judith . `` He 's got to be taught , then , '' was Judith 's retort . `` No , you need n't try to beg him off , Salome . He shall go right to bed without supper , and stay there till to-morrow morning . '' `` Oh ! not without his supper , '' entreated Salome . `` You -- you wo n't improve the child 's morals by injuring his stomach , Judith . '' `` Without his supper , I say , '' repeated Judith inexorably .
`` Lionel Hezekiah , go up-stairs XXXXX the south room , and go to bed at once . ''
