It made her laugh to think of his languid reception of her, the moods, the silences, the weeks of just civil acquaintanceship; and then gradually, the snatches of talk and those great black brows of his lifted in a surprise which a tardy politeness would try to mask: and at last, the good, long, brain-filling, heart-filling talks, the break-down of reserves the man's whole mind, its remorses, ambitions, misgivings, poured at her feet ending in the growth of that sweet daily habit of common work side by side, head close to head hand close to hand.
And to discover that wealth might be merely the source of one long moral wrestle to the people who possessed it, burdening them with all sorts of problems and remorses that others escaped, had been a strange and, on the whole, jarring experience to her. Of course there must be rich and poor; of course there must be servants and masters.
The little playmates lay in the churchyard, and they were full of oaths and drink and lusts and remorses but no note was changed in this immortal song. And so for a moment or two years of vice rolled away like a dark cloud from the memory, and the past shone out in the song-shine.

Phil should never be ashamed of his father.
