B.
UPTON, June 18, 1904.
DEAR HERBERT, --I am sick at heart. I received one of those letters thismorning which are the despair of most schoolmasters. I have in my housea boy aged seventeen, who is absolutely alone in the world. He hasneither father or mother, brother or sister. He spends his holidayswith an aunt, a clever and charming person, but a sad invalid (by theway, in passing, what a wretched thing in English it is that there isno female of the word "man"; "woman" means something quite d...ifferent, and always sounds slightly disrespectful; "lady" is impossible, exceptin certain antique phrases). The boy is frail, intellectual, ungenial. He is quite incapable of playing games decently, having neitherstrength or aptitude; he finds it hard to make friends, and theconsequence is that, like all clever people who don't meet with anysuccess, he takes refuge in a kind of contemptuous cynicism. His auntis devoted to him and to his best interests, but she is too much of aninvalid to be able to look after him; the result is that he is allowedpractically to do exactly as he likes in the holidays; he hates schoolcordially, and I don't wonder.
