The fault they found, to give them their credit, was a perception of weakness I believe. That I was not a man enough to their standard and treated me with such contempt that I scarcely believe possible. If that is how one treats peers in high society, I wanted no part of it. That and the beatings from Papa.
Snow? I haven't ever seen that in reality, is it as cold as I've heard? Children seem to quite like it, playing games with weather - what a strange notion! I should like to see snow someday.
