I
expressed
regret
to
hear
it
.
Esme
nodded
.
"
Father
adored
him
.
"
She
bit
reflectively
at
the
cuticle
of
her
thumb
.
"
He
looks
very
much
like
my
mother
—
Charles
,
I
mean
.
I
look
exactly
like
my
father
.
"
She
went
on
biting
at
her
cuticle
.
"
My
mother
was
quite
a
passionate
woman
.
She
was
an
extrovert
.
Father
was
an
introvert
.
They
were
quite
well
mated
,
though
,
in
a
superficial
way
.
To
be
quite
candid
,
Father
really
needed
more
of
an
intellectual
companion
than
Mother
was
.
He
was
an
extremely
gifted
genius
.
"
I
waited
,
receptively
,
for
further
information
,
but
none
came
.
I
looked
down
at
Charles
,
who
was
now
resting
the
side
of
his
face
on
his
chair
seat
.
When
he
saw
that
I
was
looking
at
him
,
he
closed
his
eyes
,
sleepily
,
angelically
,
then
stuck
out
his
tongue
—
an
appendage
of
startling
length
—
and
gave
out
what
in
my
country
would
have
been
a
glorious
tribute
to
a
myopic
baseball
umpire
.
It
fairly
shook
the
tearoom
.
"
Stop
that
,
"
Esme
said
,
clearly
unshaken
.
"
He
saw
an
American
do
it
in
a
fish
-
and
-
chips
queue
,
and
now
he
does
it
whenever
he
’
s
bored
.
Just
stop
it
,
now
,
or
I
shall
send
you
directly
to
Miss
Megley
.
"
Charles
opened
his
enormous
eyes
,
as
sign
that
he
’
d
heard
his
sister
’
s
threat
,
but
otherwise
didn
’
t
look
especially
alerted
.
He
closed
his
eyes
again
,
and
continued
to
rest
the
side
of
his
face
on
the
chair
seat
.
I
mentioned
that
maybe
he
ought
to
save
it
—
meaning
the
Bronx
cheer
—
till
he
started
using
his
title
regularly
.
That
is
,
if
he
had
a
title
,
too
.
Esme
gave
me
a
long
,
faintly
clinical
look
.
"
You
have
a
dry
sense
of
humor
,
haven
’
t
you
?
"
she
said
—
wistfully
.
"
Father
said
I
have
no
sense
of
humor
at
all
.
He
said
I
was
unequipped
to
meet
life
because
I
have
no
sense
of
humor
.
"
Watching
her
,
I
lit
a
cigarette
and
said
I
didn
’
t
think
a
sense
of
humor
was
of
any
use
in
a
real
pinch
.
"
Father
said
it
was
.
"
