Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Gilly: Four Months Out of a Life I tell you, Cynthia, I don´t mean the boy to grow up knowing nothing of Ireland," Gilly´s father said positively. "But there´ll be no time for him to have grown up! We´re not going to India for ever! The appointment, thank Heaven, is only a five years´ one. In five years he´ll be barely fourteen. You can take him to Ireland yourself then, and put him to sleep in the bogs if you think it would be an advantage to him!" Gilly´s mother looked up out of her sofa cushions quite good humouredly at his father. "He´ll have to go to Eton before that." "And you think Eton and the bogs incompatible?" "More or less. Eton gives a set of its own to a boy´s mind, as you very well know." "Thank goodness it does, or where would any of you have been? You don´t want Gilly not to have that set, do you?"
