I’m ashamed of their boisterousness sometimes, the good lady admitted.

I’m sure I was never like that when I was a girl, and what happiness they can find in it, I don’t know. Believe me, Mrs. Kennaird, they never are at rest. When it’s not skating and sliding, it’s golf and hockey. If you ask them to read a book, they think you want to do them an injury. I gave Marjory the ’Pilgrim’s Progress’ on her last birthday, and all she said was that ’Christian won on the last green.’ There’s levity for you—there’s improper behaviour. Oh, I shall be sorry to lose them, but sorrier still for the man who marries them—indeed I shall. You couldn’t understand it yourself, for you have no daughters of your own, they tell me; but I’ve a mother’s heart, and they wound it every day that I live. Oh, yes, I shall be sorry for the man who marries them.
