“No, I won’t tell you. It’s not right to tell tales, is it, Auntie?”
Cecile smiled:
“No, of course it’s not.”
“I want always to do what’s right.”
“That is very good.”
“No, no!” he said deprecatingly. “Everything seems to me so bad, do you know. Why is everything so bad, Auntie?”
“But there is much that is good too, Jules.”
He shook his head:
“No, no!” he repeated. “Everything is bad. Everything is very bad. Everything is selfishness. Just mention something that’s not selfish!”
