Annie was now studying to be a teacher.

Paul, also very clever, was getting on well, having lessons in French and German from his godfather, the clergyman who was still a friend to Mrs.Morel.
Arthur, a spoilt and very good-looking boy, was at the Board school, but there was talk of his trying to get a scholarship for the High School in Nottingham.
William remained a year at his new post in Nottingham.

He was studying hard, and growing serious.

Something seemed to be fretting him.

Still he went out to the dances and the river parties.
