A Tale of Two Families
“She heard doors open and close, bath water running, Dickon’s voice – instantly hushed by his mother’s ‘Quiet, darling, we shall disturb Fran.’ Well, they had disturbed Fran and Fran must expect it every morning unless she could acquire the knack of sleeping through noises occasioned by George’s early morning start. Did he really need to get up at six-thirty? Yes, she supposed so, in order to bath, shave, breakfast, drive to the station, spend an hour on the train, and be in his office, say, by ...nine-thirty.

May had undertaken to bring breakfast at nine o’clock and Fran never liked even her daughters to see her before she had given her appearance some little help.MoreLess
