"
Think
of
your
mother
,
"
I
said
severely
.
He
said
he
would
often
fly
in
to
see
her
.
The
first
thing
he
would
do
would
be
to
hug
her
.
No
,
he
would
alight
on
the
water-jug
first
,
and
have
a
drink
.
"
Tell
her
,
father
,
"
he
said
with
horrid
heartlessness
,
"
always
to
have
plenty
of
water
in
it
,
'
cos
if
I
had
to
lean
down
too
far
I
might
fall
in
and
be
drownded
.
"
"
Am
I
not
to
drop
the
letter
,
David
?
Think
of
your
poor
mother
without
her
boy
!
"
It
affected
him
,
but
he
bore
up
.
When
she
was
asleep
,
he
said
,
he
would
hop
on
to
the
frilly
things
of
her
night-gown
and
peck
at
her
mouth
.
"
And
then
she
would
wake
up
,
David
,
and
find
that
she
had
only
a
bird
instead
of
a
boy
.
"
This
shock
to
Mary
was
more
than
he
could
endure
.
"
You
can
drop
it
,
"
he
said
with
a
sigh
So
I
dropped
the
letter
,
as
I
think
I
have
already
mentioned
;
and
that
is
how
it
all
began
.
A
week
or
two
after
I
dropped
the
letter
I
was
in
a
hansom
on
my
way
to
certain
barracks
when
loud
above
the
city
's
roar
I
heard
that
accursed
haw-haw-haw
,
and
there
they
were
,
the
two
of
them
,
just
coming
out
of
a
shop
where
you
may
obtain
pianos
on
the
hire
system
.
I
had
the
merest
glimpse
of
them
,
but
there
was
an
extraordinary
rapture
on
her
face
,
and
his
head
was
thrown
proudly
back
,
and
all
because
they
had
been
ordering
a
piano
on
the
hire
system
.
So
they
were
to
be
married
directly
.
It
was
all
rather
contemptible
,
but
I
passed
on
tolerantly
,
for
it
is
only
when
she
is
unhappy
that
this
woman
disturbs
me
,
owing
to
a
clever
way
she
has
at
such
times
of
looking
more
fragile
than
she
really
is
.
