Passage One
We have rather a small house, with only one spare bedroom. You can imagine our alarm, then, when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming to stay with her family for the weekend. Her family, l should explain, consists of four boys, all under the age of 12.
I sent off a telegram at once, protesting that our house was too small. Aunt Clara called us up the next morning. "I forgot to explain," she said in her sweetest voice, "the boys will bring a couple of tents."
Even so, my wife was far from reassured. It was true we had a large garden, but there was still the problem of feeding four growing boys.
"And what if it rains" she demanded.
But Saturday morning turned out to be bright and clear when I went to the station to meet Aunt Clara. I managed to squeeze three of the boys, together with the luggage, into the back of the car. The youngest sat in front, with Aunt Clara and me.
