I thought that in time I might get into touch with other people who shared our attitude and then take part in some anti-war movement and fight against the war instead of in it.

One of the half-yearly bulletins of the lycee, which has been preserved in his family, records that he was "passionate without being vindictive, and proud without arrogance."

The work was hard, and some of the processes of cleaning the wool were repulsive to her nature at first, but in time she accustomed herself to this as to so much else. It was easy for her gentle nature to win the hearts of the three children; she quickly learnt the duties of a mother, nursed them in their childish ailments, and when the loom was still, joined with them in their games. Six months Tom Parfitt ...

But it was all for her advantage, and tended to correct the false pride and upstart ideas which in time must have been engendered by my mother's folly.
