And you and my little Stephen are such friends already that your coming into the house will be a joy to us all. Why, long ago, when first you came, she said to me the night you went away: "Daddy, wouldn't it be nice if Harold could come here altogether?" And so Harold An Wolf came back with the Squire to Normanstand, and from that day on became a member of his house, and as a son to him.
Her sweet and spontaneous nature, which gave its love and sympathy so readily, was almost a bar to education: it blinded the eyes that would have otherwise seen any defect that wanted altering, any evil trait that needed repression, any lagging virtue that required encouragement or the spur. Squire Norman had a clerical friend whose rectory of Carstone lay some thirty miles from Normanstand.
There was only a holy memory which seemed to sanctify loss; and his father seemed nearer to him than ever. As he drew near Normanstand he looked forward eagerly to seeing Stephen, and the sight of the old church lying far below him as he came down the steep road over Alt Hill, which was the short-cut from Norcester, set his mind working.
