I did want to try and make up a little, but he was difficult.

He was staying at the Temperance, and it seemed so forlorn that he should have no one of his own to come home to.

He didn't look as if anybody had ever made a fuss of him.

I asked him to stay with us for a week, but he wouldn't.

I think he thought I was rather mad to ask him, and Pamela laughed at me about it....
