He was two, when his mother died, and a clumsy ugly little boy with a certain amount of graceless obstinacy, with which both Tennants and Asquiths were equally endowed.
ARTHUR WALTER: "I regret to say that I cannot ever see this picture." MARGOT: "Why not?" ARTHUR WALTER: "Because though the Tennants are relations of mine, our family quarrelled." MARGOT: "What did they quarrel over?" ARTHUR WALTER: "Oh, it's a long story! Perhaps relations quarrel because they are too much alike." MARGOT: "You are not in the least like the Tennants!"
Not so much as transitorie wicker bottles to his Deputy Livetenant, no fewell for his winter, no carriages for his summer, no steple sugarloaves to sweeten his neighbours at Christmas, no robbing my brave tennants of their fatt Capons or Chickens to present his worship withall, Thomas.

I must go back to granny now. She is very tired; she gets so little rest at night." Kathleen went slowly home.

She felt an uncomfortable sensation of being haunted by the faces of Ruth and the old man.
I told granny I did not exactly know what time I should be back, but she certainly wouldn't expect me to be out late." "Never mind; you are doing me a kindness. I must go to see Aunt Katie, and it isn't convenient for the Tennants to go with me. If we go together it won't be a bit remarkable. Do come, Ruthie. You hurt my feelings awfully this morning; you needn't hurt them again."
