Such was the impression formed in Reginald's mind by a single glance round his new quarters. In the flutter of his first entrance, however, he entirely overlooked one important piece of furniture namely, a small boy with long lank hair and pale blotched face, who was sitting on a low stool near the window, greedily devouring the contents of a pink-covered periodical.

On the terrace in front of the big red house were other tables with white covers under awnings like huge sunshades, where people who could afford the terrace sat in splendor and in isolation and listened to the music, played on the veranda, of violins and cello and piano. Ransome and Winny and the children chose a pink-covered table on the lawn under a holly tree in a place all by themselves.
