'I think this power of living in our children is one of the sweetest things in the world; but I try to remember what Marmee once said to Meg that fathers should have their share in the education of both girls and boys; so I leave Ted to his father all I can, and Fritz lends me Rob, whose quiet ways are as restful and good for me as Ted's tempests are for his father.

Oliver is really worried. "You're not going to let that interfere are you? Right now?" "I've got to tell her." Ted's smile is a trifle painful. "Got to, you know. Oh not that. But France.
"It would cost something." "A whole lot?" "If you wanted the best." Mr. Turner scratched his head. "I'm afraid I couldn't swing it," declared he, regret in his tone.

But, oddly enough, you rather remind me of her sometimes, Miss Mouse. And when Miss Mouse went to bed that night, her thoughts about Moor Edge and the five boys there were all very bright and pleasant.
