Set in Sussex in 1883<\/p>\n

\u201cIn any case, we\u2019re not discussing me. Are you trying to tell me Dederick . . .\u201d I searched for the right words, \u201cprefers the company of other men?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA little in love with him after a while, in a silly, romantic sort of way. There were quite a few boys involved in what you might call romances, you know.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cGood heavens.\u201d No wonder so few men talked about their schooldays.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI know all about it, in case you\u2019re wondering.\u201d Guttridge had brought in my coat and hat; depositing the latter article on the sofa, she moved behind me to help me with the coat. \u201cHe\u2019s not\u2014well, not very that way inclined. It\u2019s just a weakness he has, and he only gives in to it every so often. He\u2019s a good man.\u201d<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

“Keeping company with me helps to stop gossip about him, and I like being with him. He\u2019s clever and kind and a good friend, and I\u2019m resolved not to marry, so clever and kind does me just fine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not ridiculous for you.\u201d Michael stopped at the door, turning to face me. \u201cFor you, it\u2019s always the people who matter. The . . . the . . . emotions.\u201d He twitched. \u201cI\u2019ve observed some people are like that, men as well as women. They don\u2019t analyze the way sensible people do.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Michael, dear.\u201d For once, I did not feel annoyed with my brother.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
