No

he
said
,
"
I
do
n't
think
it
's
a
false
hope
,
or
I
would
n't
have
told
you
.
And
I
think
you
deserve
to
be
told
that
there
IS
a
hope
.
"
"
And
you
do
n't
think
Father
did
it
,
do
you
?
Oh
,
say
you
do
n't
think
he
did
.
"
"
My
dear
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
'm
perfectly
CERTAIN
he
did
n't
.
"
If
it
was
a
false
hope
,
it
was
none
the
less
a
very
radiant
one
that
lay
warm
at
Bobbie
's
heart
,
and
through
the
days
that
followed
lighted
her
little
face
as
a
Japanese
lantern
is
lighted
by
the
candle
within
.
Life
at
the
Three
Chimneys
was
never
quite
the
same
again
after
the
old
gentleman
came
to
see
his
grandson
.
Although
they
now
knew
his
name
,
the
children
never
spoke
of
him
by
it
--
at
any
rate
,
when
they
were
by
themselves
.
To
them
he
was
always
the
old
gentleman
,
and
I
think
he
had
better
be
the
old
gentleman
to
us
,
too
.
It
would
n't
make
him
seem
any
more
real
to
you
,
would
it
,
if
I
were
to
tell
you
that
his
name
was
Snooks
or
Jenkins
(
which
it
was
n't
)
?
--
and
,
after
all
,
I
must
be
allowed
to
keep
one
secret
.
It
's
the
only
one
;
I
have
told
you
everything
else
,
except
what
I
am
going
to
tell
you
in
this
chapter
,
which
is
the
last
.
At
least
,
of
course
,
I
have
n't
told
you
EVERYTHING
.
If
I
were
to
do
that
,
the
book
would
never
come
to
an
end
,
and
that
would
be
a
pity
,
would
n't
it
?
Well
,
as
I
was
saying
,
life
at
Three
Chimneys
was
never
quite
the
same
again
.
The
cook
and
the
housemaid
were
very
nice
(
I
do
n't
mind
telling
you
their
names
--
they
were
Clara
and
Ethelwyn
)
,
but
they
told
Mother
they
did
not
seem
to
want
Mrs.
Viney
,
and
that
she
was
an
old
muddler
.
So
Mrs.
Viney
came
only
two
days
a
week
to
do
washing
and
ironing
.
Then
Clara
and
Ethelwyn
said
they
could
do
the
work
all
right
if
they
were
n't
interfered
with
,
and
that
meant
that
the
children
no
longer
got
the
tea
and
cleared
it
away
and
washed
up
the
tea-things
and
dusted
the
rooms
.
This
would
have
left
quite
a
blank
in
their
lives
,
although
they
had
often
pretended
to
themselves
and
to
each
other
that
they
hated
housework
.
But
now
that
Mother
had
no
writing
and
no
housework
to
do
,
she
had
time
for
lessons
.
And
lessons
the
children
had
to
do
.
However
nice
the
person
who
is
teaching
you
may
be
,
lessons
are
lessons
all
the
world
over
,
and
at
their
best
are
worse
fun
than
peeling
potatoes
or
lighting
a
fire
.
On
the
other
hand
,
if
Mother
now
had
time
for
lessons
,
she
also
had
time
for
play
,
and
to
make
up
little
rhymes
for
the
children
as
she
used
to
do
.
She
had
not
had
much
time
for
rhymes
since
she
came
to
Three
Chimneys
.
There
was
one
very
odd
thing
about
these
lessons
.
Whatever
the
children
were
doing
,
they
always
wanted
to
be
doing
something
else
.
When
Peter
was
doing
his
Latin
,
he
thought
it
would
be
nice
to
be
learning
History
like
Bobbie
.
Bobbie
would
have
preferred
Arithmetic
,
which
was
what
Phyllis
happened
to
be
doing
,
and
Phyllis
of
course
thought
Latin
much
the
most
interesting
kind
of
lesson
.
And
so
on
.
