Penmarric
“—The Conquering Family, THOMAS COSTAIN [Geoffrey] proceeded to show he had the makings of good fighter.
—Henry II, JOHN T. APPLEBY AS THE HOLIDAYS PASSED we began to settle down slowly. I was hurt when William spent so much time with Marcus, but since Marcus enjoyed riding and fishing better than I did I could not blame William for becoming friends with him. Besides, Marcus was only two years younger than William and therefore more of a contemporary for William than I was. Mariana showed no... interest in their outdoor pursuits but liked to sew or look at Mama’s London magazines for ladies. She and Mama would go into Oxford together occasionally to the shops; Mama would help her with her sewing and supervise her piano practice. The younger girls I seldom saw. Edith the nursemaid looked after the fat baby Elizabeth, and although Jeanne occasionally followed Hugh when he went upstairs to play with my trains she would spend most of her time in the nursery. Hugh and I became cordial toward each other, but I did not like the way he still remained friends with Philip while assiduously cultivating my good will.MoreLess
