remained in her high chair staring

shoulders that heaved up and

overturned cup that oozcd slowly

Extraordinary father!
Rosale's father had been a
wrangler and one of the brilliant
men of his year at Cambridge. All
manner of brilliance was expected
for him and of him. He unex-
pectedly went into the Church and
as unexpectedly married.
His bride was the daughter of a
clergyman, a widower, who kept
a small private school in Devon
shire. She helped her father to
run the school Gan impoverished
business which, begun exclusively
for the "sons of gentlemen" had
slid down into paying court TO
tradesmen in order to get the
sons of tradesmen) and she main
tanned him in the very Indifferent
health he suffered. Harold Aubyn,
the brilliant wrangler with the bril-
liant future, who had begun his
brilliance by unexpectedly enter
ing the Church, and continued it
by unexpectedly marrying while
on holiday in the little Devon
shire town where he had gone to
ponder his future "a little unbal-
anced by the unprecedented
plunge into Holy Orders) further
continued his brilliance by uneX-
pectedly finding himself the assist
ant master in his father-in-law s
second-rate and failing school.

That was like Rosalie's father
in those days. That way blew the
cold fit and the hot fit-then.
The magnificent fresh start after
the magnificent escape from the
morass of the moribund father-in-
law and the moribund school and
the moribund Devonshire town

He is to be imagined in those

ProsDero, as terribly lonely man.

countryside in search OF his parish

meet him either on his own quick
intellectual level or upon his own

level. They could not respond to
his humor and they could not re

ought to respond, to his sympathy.
He once found a mana farm
