"Oh, they were somewhere else  in Julius Cæsar's time, to be exact  but they don't know it, and never will know it. They haven't the charm. To them it will be like a dream that they have forgotten."

I couldn't understand it--it felt stuffy--as if something was going to burst." "That was because they were not the cousins you knew at Deptford." "But where have the real cousins I knew at Deptford been then--all this time--while those other kids were here pretending to be them?" Dickie asked.
