Daftar Isi:
- There were three of them Jerry, Jimmy, and Kathleen. Of course,Jerry's name was Gerald, and not Jeremiah, whatever you maythink; and Jimmy's name was James; and Kathleen was nevercalled by her name at all, but Cathy, or Catty, or Puss Cat, whenher brothers were pleased with her, and Scratch Cat when theywere not pleased. And they were at school in a little town in theWest of England the boys at one school, of course, and the girl atanother, because the sensible habit of having boys and girls at thesame school is not yet as common as I hope it will be some day.They used to see each other on Saturdays and Sundays at the houseof a kind maiden lady; but it was one of those houses where it isimpossible to play. You know the kind of house, don't you? Thereis a sort of a something about that kind of house that makes youhardly able even to talk to each other when you are left alone, andplaying seems unnatural and affected. So they looked forward tothe holidays, when they should all go home and be together all daylong, in a house where playing was natural and conversationpossible, and where the Hampshire forests and fields were full ofinteresting things to do and see. Their Cousin Betty was to be theretoo, and there were plans. Betty's school broke up before theirs,and so she got to the Hampshire home first, and the moment shegot there she began to have measles, so that my three couldn't gohome at all. You may imagine their feelings. The thought of sevenweeks at Miss Hervey's was not to be borne, and all three wrotehome and said so. This astonished their parents very much,because they had always thought it was so nice for the children tohave dear Miss Hervey's to go to.
