“The household at Amberwell had been prepared to like Mrs. Corner, to help her as much as possible and to get her into the way of things…but in twenty-four hours she had won the dislike of everybody in the place. She had won it by disapproving of everything. In the eyes of Mrs. Corner nothing was right…This atmosphere of disapproval permeated the whole house, it was as pervasive as the smell of onions.”

“Amberwell had been so much in his thoughts that when Dennis saw it again it seemed well-known and friendly. The old grey house, so strongly built and beautifully proportioned…was a comfortable building which had been erected by an Ayrton and had sheltered the Ayrton family…There was a kindness about it, an air of benevolence which embraced not only its own family but the stranger within its gates.”

“I thought grown-up people could always do what they wanted.” Roger could not help smiling. “I thought the same when I was eight,” he said. “I thought that when there was nobody to tell you what to do, you could do whatever you liked . . . but you can’t. When you grow up you have responsibilities, especially when you’re the head of the family.” “The head of the family?” “Yes, that’s what I am.””

“Roger knew she was thinking of Ian when she spoke of sad memories, for Ian had been one of those bright-spirited beings whose death leaves a gaping void in the lives of their friends. Ian Findlater had had “everything”…When Roger heard the words, “Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,” he thought instinctively of Ian Findlater, and of his own beautiful Clare.”
