"But there is
something else you want to say."
"Only this: if Cedric does not pass, what are we to do with him? You
know he has utterly refused to enter the Church or to study for the
law. He has no taste for engineering or architecture, and we should
not care for him to be a business man."
"Need we consider the point at present?" returned Malcolm gently.
"There is a limited number of professions, certainly. What do you
say to a mastership in a public school? I fancy the life would suit
Cedric; his love of boating would score there." Then Dinah
brightened visibly.
"We never thought of that; even Elizabeth, who is so full of ideas,
only suggested his going to an agricultural college to learn
farming."
"Oh, that would never suit him," replied Malcolm in an off-hand
manner. "He likes to have his bread ready buttered for him;
cornfields and flour-mills are not in his line at all. Ah, here
comes the search-party," and Malcolm looked a little curiously at
the book in Elizabeth's hand.
"Oh, we have had such a hunt for it." Elizabeth looked quite hot and
tired.
