Of course there were other people there. There was a Major Somebody who had shot things in Lapland, or somewhere of that sort; I forget what they were, but it wasn't for want of reminding.

he festive season, you can probably revise that saying. I shall never forget putting in a Christmas at the Babwolds'. Mrs. Babwold is some relation of my father's--a sort of to-be-left-till-called-for cousin--and that was considered sufficient reason for my having to accept her invitation at about the sixth time of asking; though why the sins of the father should be visited by the children--you won't find any notepaper in that drawer; that's where I keep old menus and first-night programmes. Mrs. Babwold wears a rather solemn personality, and has never been known to smile, even when saying disagreeable things to her friends or making out the Stores list. She takes her pleasures sadly. A state elephant at a Durbar gives one a very similar impression. Her husband gardens in all weathers. When a man goes out in the pouring rain to brush caterpillars off rose-trees, I generally imagine his life indoors leaves something to be desired; anyway, it must be very unsettling for the caterpillars.  ALLEGED TO BE THE FESTIVE SEASON YOU CAN PROBABLY REVISE THAT SAYING I SHALL NEVER FORGET PUTTING IN A CHRISTMAS AT THE BABWELLS MISSUS BABWELLD IS SOME RELATION OF MY FATHER'S A SORT OF TO BE LEFT TILL CALLED FOR COUSIN AND THAT WAS CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT REASON FOR MY HAVING TO ACCEPT HER INVITATION AT ABOUT THE SIXTH TIME OF ASKING THOUGH WHY THE SINS OF THE FATHER SHOULD BE VISITED BY THE CHILDREN YOU WON'T FIND ANY NOTEPAPER IN THAT DRAWER THAT'S WHERE I KEEP OLD MENUS IN FIRST NIGHT PROGRAMMES MISSUS BABWOLD WEARS A RATHER SOLEMN PERSONALITY AND HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO SMILE EVEN WHEN SAYING DISAGREEABLE THINGS TO HER FRIENDS OR MAKING OUT THE STORES LIST SHE TAKES HER PLEASURES SADLY A STATE ELEPHANT AT A DURBAR GIVES ONE A VERY SIMILAR IMPRESSION HER HUSBAND GARDENS IN ALL WEATHERS WHEN A MAN GOES OUT IN THE POURING RAIN TO BRUSH CATERPILLARS OFF ROSE TREES I GENERALLY IMAGINE HIS LIFE INDOORS LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED ANYWAY IT MUST BE VERY UNSETTLING FOR THE CATERPILLARS
