Brown is not used to educating children, you know, that she fancies one wants a reward for telling the truth; I told her so, but Mary thought it would vex her, and stopped my mouth. Well, then we young ones that is, Charlie, and Sylvia, and Armyn, and I drank tea out on the lawn. Mary had to sit up and be company; but we had such fun!
"Ah!" with a start and scream, "who is coming?" as she heard steps behind them. "You little donkey, you'll be off! Who should it be but Armyn?" For Armyn generally overtook his brother on a Saturday, and walked home with him for the Sunday. Charles hailed him with a loud "Hollo, Armyn! What d'ye think I've got here?" "Kate! Why, how d'ye do! Why, they never told me you were coming to see us."
We didn't like that; and Armyn said it was a shame, and hunted him away, racing all round the garden; and we scrambled down by ourselves, and came down on the slope.
The earlier annals of the family were illustrated by a series of paintings by modern masters, representing the battle of Hastings, the siege of Ascalon, the meeting at Runnymede, the various invasions of France, and some of the most striking incidents in the Wars of the Roses, in all of which a valiant Armyn prominently figured.

There was a great old laurel tree, and Armyn put Sylvia and me up into the fork; and that was our nest, and we were birds, and he fed us with strawberries; and we pretended to be learning to fly, and stood up flapping our frocks and squeaking, and Charlie came under and danced the branches about.
They would come after her and take her away, when she only wanted to be hid and kept safe; it was a cruel shame, and Charles was ready to fly at his brother and pommel him; indeed, Armyn had to hold him by one shoulder, and say in the voice that meant that he would be minded, "Steady, boy I I'm very sorry, my little Katie; it's a melancholy matter, but you must have left those poor old ladies in a dreadful state of alarm about you, and they ought not to be kept in it!"
