The only\u003cbr\u003ething we found fault with in our lives was that there were so few\u003cbr\u003eevents in them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was particularly provoking, because we were so well prepared for\u003cbr\u003eevents--any events. Rupert prepared us. He had found a fat old book in\u003cbr\u003ethe garret, bound in yellow leather, at the end of which were\u003cbr\u003e\"Directions how to act with presence of mind in any emergency;\" and he\u003cbr\u003egave lectures out of this in the kitchen garden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRupert was twelve years old. He was the eldest. Then came Henrietta,\u003cbr\u003ethen I, and last of all Baby Cecil, who was only four.

I've put up a bench.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI thanked him warmly, and the next day he put his head into the\u003cbr\u003enursery at three o'clock in the afternoon, and said--\"The lecture.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI jumped up, and so did Henrietta.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161538347248,"sku":"2940013537194","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013537194_p0.jpg?v=1763582095","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013537194","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
