Edith started up from her restful corner on the blue sofa by the fire, where she had been thinking about her guest, and rushed to the door. Archie - chie! Come here directly! Whats that noise? A boy of ten came calmly into the room. It wasnt me that made the noise, he said, it was Madame Frabelle. His mother looked at him. He was a handsome, fair boy with clear grey eyes that looked you straight in the face without telling you anything at all, long eyelashes that softened, but gave a sly humour to his glance, a round face, a very large forehead, and smooth straw-coloured hair. Already at this early age he had the expressionless reserve of the public school where he was to be sent, with something of the suave superiority of the university for which he was intended. Edith thought he inherited both of these traits from her.
