Edith Nesbit
The Wouldbegoods
Paperback
(Independently published April 13, 2020)
These were the dreadful words of our Indian uncle. They made us feel very young and angry; and yet we could not be comforted by calling him names to ourselves, as you do when nasty grown–ups say nasty things, because he is not nasty, but quite the exact opposite when not irritated. And we could not think it ungentlemanly of him to say we were like jam, because, as Alice says, jam is very nice indeed—only not on furniture and improper places like that. My father said, 'Perhaps they had better go to boarding–school.' And that was awful, because we know Father disapproves of boarding–schools. And he looked at us and said, 'I am ashamed of them, sir!'
