"He has got a way with him." she reflected, as she cleared up the relics of the supper. "It is real queer he is not married, for a man like that could have anybody for the asking.
"What have you been eating?" demanded John Allan, gruffly. "Nothing, since breakfast, Sir," was the reply. "Headaches are for nervous women. When a healthy boy complains of one, and declines dinner, it generally means that he has been robbing somebody's strawberry patch or up a cherry-tree, stuffing half-ripe fruit," he said in the acid, suspicious tone that the boy knew.

The first was formed of men of his own age Walpole, Edgecumbe, Gilly Williams, and Lord March comprise what may be called the Strawberry Hill group.

And little Jon received a peck on his hair. "What jam?" he asked. "I'm so tired of waiting." "Gooseberry and strawberry." Num! They were his favourites! When she was gone he sat still for quite a minute. It was quiet in the big hall open to its East end so that he could see one of his trees, a brig sailing very slowly across the upper lawn.

You have just described the objective of Project Pegasus.
