I'd have got you that beastly little Bijou for ninety pounds a year." Uncle Philip went away crusty, leaving the young couple finely mortified and discouraged. That did not last very long. Christopher noted the experience and Uncle Phil's wisdom in his diary, and then took his wife on his knee, and comforted her, and said, "Never mind; experience is worth money, and it always has to be bought.
