She is very beautiful in my memory, but during the last months of her life we seldom saw her, and the desire to keep the house quiet for her sake must have been the beginning of that freedom which we enjoyed during the whole of our boyhood.

So we were out every day and all day long, finding our meals when we pleased, and that, as I shall explain, without going home for them.

I remember her death clearly, but I will not dwell upon that.

It is too sad to write much about, though she was happy, and the least troubled of us all.

Her sole concern was at leaving her husband and children.
