'Well, it has been rather hard to keep him occupied away from books. He has been riding a good deal, and smoking a good deal. 'And talking a good deal? 'Well, yes, Wilf is fond of talking, admitted Mrs. Rossall, 'but I don't think he's anything like as positive as he was. He does now and then admit that other people may have an opinion which is worth entertaining.
You were in the habit of eating a satisfactory breakfast; at present some two ounces of that farinaceous mess 'My dear Philip! interposed Mrs. Rossall, still absently. I hold that I am within my rights, asserted her brother. 'If Miss Hood goes down into Yorkshire in a state of emaciation Wilfrid and the twins showed amusement. 'To begin with, pursued Mr.
Rossall, supported by her brother's views, imposed on her children a minimum of brain-work. Bodily health was after all the first thing, especially in the case of girls. A couple of hours' school in the morning, one hour given to preparation of lessons after tea this for the present was deemed quite enough. 'Your companionship throughout the day will always be forming their minds, Mrs.
You're not angry with me, Mrs. Rossall, for coming before I was expected? A curious note of irresponsible childishness came out now and then in her talk, as in this last question; it was the more noticeable for the air of maturity and self-possession which on the whole characterised her.

Athel brought him to London, and the family went down at once to their house in Surrey. Wilfrid was an only son and an only child. His father had been a widower for nearly ten years; for the last three his house had been directed by a widowed sister, Mrs. Rossall, who had twin girls. Mr.
