It is\u003cbr\u003eno use crying over spilt milk, that I can see. It is a horribly bad\u003cbr\u003ebusiness, but grieving over it won't make it any better. What one has\u003cbr\u003egot to do is to decide on some plan or other, and then set to work to\u003cbr\u003ecarry it out.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe speaker, Wilfrid Renshaw, was a boy between fifteen and sixteen\u003cbr\u003eyears old. He was standing with his back to an empty fireplace, his feet\u003cbr\u003ewell apart, his hands deep in his pockets. He was rather short for his\u003cbr\u003eage, but very squarely built. His hair was dark, cut rather short, and\u003cbr\u003eso ruffled over his head that there were no signs of a parting; his\u003cbr\u003eeyebrows were heavy, his eyes bright but rather deeply set; his chin was\u003cbr\u003esquare and his jaw heavy; his nose was a little upturned, and this\u003cbr\u003etogether with his eyes gave a merry expression to a face that would\u003cbr\u003eotherwise have been heavy and stern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt school Wilfrid Renshaw had been regarded as rather a queer fellow.\u003cbr\u003eHe was full of quiet fun, and saw a humorous side in everything. He did\u003cbr\u003enot take a very leading part in the various school sports, though there\u003cbr\u003ewas a general idea that if Renshaw only chose to exert himself he could\u003cbr\u003eexcel in any of them. In point of actual strength, although there were\u003cbr\u003eseveral boys in the school older than himself, it was generally admitted\u003cbr\u003ethat he was by far the strongest there. But he always went his own way\u003cbr\u003eand always knew his own mind, and when he had once given his decision\u003cbr\u003eevery one knew that it was of no use attempting to alter it; indeed, his\u003cbr\u003ereputation for obstinacy was so great that when he had once said \"I\u003cbr\u003ewon't\" or \"I will,\" no one ever attempted to argue with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was given to long walks and to collecting insects or flowers. He\u003cbr\u003ecould never be persuaded to make one of the cricket eleven; but in\u003cbr\u003ewinter, when there was little scope for his favourite pursuit, he threw\u003cbr\u003ehimself into football; and although he absolutely refused to accept the\u003cbr\u003ecaptaincy when unanimously elected to that honour, he was considered by\u003cbr\u003efar the most valuable member of the team. He was scarcely popular among\u003cbr\u003ethe boys of his own age; for although his fun and general good temper\u003cbr\u003ewere appreciated by them, his determination to go his own way, and his\u003cbr\u003eentire disregard for the opinion of others, caused him to be considered\u003cbr\u003ean unsociable sort of fellow, an impression increased by the fact that\u003cbr\u003ehe had no particular chums.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174506381552,"sku":"2940016094335","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016094335","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
