That evening found him with unbroken bones was a miracle to Ethel his sister, and to his great friend John, the under-gardener. Poor Ethel was in charge, and sole charge of Kenyon, who was eleven, was no light matter for a girl with her hair still down. Her brother was a handful at most times, to-day he would have filled some pairs of stronger hands than Ethel's.

She soon regretted this step, it had made him reckless, he had spent the most dangerous day. Kenyon delighted in danger.
