It is as bright Harrow boys, home for the holidays, that we must take our last glimpse of Robin and Julius, as they sit talking with Gerald and Madelaine round the drawing-room fire at Farncourt. Robin’s fair curly head is laid against his mother’s knee, and Julius’ dark one is not far off, both lads lounging contentedly upon the hearthrug, which they share with a fine deerhound and Pat the terrier. "You should have seen Julius win the hundred yards’ race, father," said Robin. "It was simply splendid. All the other fellows were bigger than he was, but he led from start to finish." "That’s nothing to Robin at the high jump," put in Julius. "The people just roared when he cleared the bar time after time. He broke the record for boys under twelve, you know." "So you like school," remarked Gerald, "and have had a good term on the whole?" "Rather!" replied both boys simultaneously. "Though it’s jolly to be home again," added Julius, as he looked up trustfully into Madelaine’s face. "Why, mother, you have actually got that old text of mine framed!" exclaimed Robin suddenly, as he sat up and looked at the table opposite. "I thought it was washed away the night of the storm, when our hut was destroyed." "I must apologize to you, Robin," said his father, "for having so coolly walked off with your property. I went back on purpose to take it that night when the tempest broke, and I got so ill. Your mother found a nice corner for it beside her writing materials, so we put it up there." "It reminds me of so many things," said Madelaine. "I like to look at it." "I’ve often thought of it at school," remarked Robin, "when things weren’t going quite straight. It somehow seems to put them right. You see if ’the eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good,’ it’s bound to make one more careful." "Yes," said Julius, "and if one is down or sorry, it’s a help to think of it too--that is, of course, after you’ve found out that He’s the best Friend of all."
