You have won many honours in the schools, and you have kept the reputation as an athlete which your father was so proud of.

Well, I suppose in the natural order of things you would go into a profession; and of course if you so desire you can do that.

But if you can see your way to it I would rather that you stayed here.

My house is your home as long as I live; but I don't wish you to feel in any way dependent.

I want you to stay here if you will; but to do it just because you wish to.
