With eight of them coming up around him, how should he have observed their tempers?
At any rate, if there were anything amiss with Emily's temper, it would be well that she should find her master in such a husband as Louis Trevelyan.
For nearly two years the little household in Curzon Street went on well, or if anything was the matter no one outside of the little household was aware of it.

And there was a baby, a boy, a young Louis, and a baby in such a household is apt to make things go sweetly.
The marriage had taken place in July, and after the wedding tour there had been a winter and a spring in London; and then they passed a month or two at the sea-side, after which the baby had been born.
And then there came another winter and another spring.

Nora Rowley was with them in London, and by this time Mr.Trevelyan had begun to think that he should like to have his own way completely.

His baby was very nice, and his wife was clever, pretty, and attractive.

Nora was all that an unmarried sister should be.
