The Wouldbegoods

CHAPTER 4
8/43

Oswald was not willingly vicious; it was but a light and thoughtless act which he had every reason to be sorry for afterwards.

And he is sorry even without those reasons, because he knows it is ungentlemanly to play tricks on women.
I remember Mother telling Dora and me when we were little that you ought to be very kind and polite to servants, because they have to work very hard, and do not have so many good times as we do.

I used to think about Mother more at the Moat House than I did at Blackheath, especially in the garden.

She was very fond of flowers, and she used to tell us about the big garden where she used to live; and I remember Dora and I helped her to plant seeds.

But it is no use wishing.
