Lance-in-Rest
Excerpt from Lance-in-Rest
His last visit had been eleven years ago, when he was a boy at Rugby; Isabella was alive then Isabella, frail and saintly - and her two little daughters were aged seven and six respectively.
He had been generally acknowledged a nice boy and a manly boy, and little girls' hearts are easily won. Agatha, the seven-year-old, was especially taken by the lad's deference to her mother, and their favourite male acquaintances were dethroned on the spot.
