This is home, you know, where dear Mummy wanted you to be." It was their first day at Wren's End, and the weather was kind. They were all four in the drive, looking back at the comfortable stone-fronted Georgian house.
"Only till March quarter-day, and I've cabled to the agent not to entertain any other offer, as we want it ourselves." "I like to think of the children at Wren's End," Fay said dreamily.
