“I think Uncle Isaac would like that there should be a festival at Kingthorpe on the first birthday you have after becoming the Kingthorpe heir, John,” said Mother. “At him, Ted! We’ve got to keep him!” he panted as he struggled with his adversary. Weather without, Low whisp'ring echoes steal along the glades.
