"I suppose you mean my nose," Molly would then reply. "Nonsense, child. You have the family length of nose, and I've never heard that it has disgraced us." "But I don't think I'm tall enough for it." "There now, run to your room, and dress for tea. The Starks have always been punctual."

Remember the Van Starks' watchword, 'Love, Truth, and Honor. Now cuddle down here and go to sleep." Ethelwyn, feeling much relieved, slept in the canopy bed with grandmother, until long past daylight.
