The Seventh Suitor (1979)
“He was rather puzzled by this enthusiasm on her part, but saw no harm in it. He himself had contributed to the school in the past on Winterton’s suggestion, but had never had any interest in seeing the place.
Thomas Single arrived promptly the next day at one, dressed in his usual quiet style, with an earnest face and twinkling eyes. Kate had instructed that he be shown into the back parlor. As they shook hands he remarked, “I hear Lord Winterton has interested you in one of his hobbies.”
“Is i...t one of his hobbies? He said you might be able to direct me if I tried to write some books for the children. Do you think I could? Would it be imposing on you to ask for your help?”

Lord Winterton has a knack for recognizing appropriate talents for the school.”MoreLess
