Nonsense, Jane, don’t be foolish. We can’t have Janet giving way to that sort of thing at her age.
MRS. DE MULLIN
I’m afraid she is rather irritable just now. She flew out quite savagely at Hester to-day just after luncheon.
MRS. CLOUSTON
Why was that?
MRS. DE MULLIN
Because of something she had been teaching Johnny. The Athanasian Creed I think it was. Yes, it must have been that because Johnny asked Janet what was meant by three Incomprehensibles. Janet asked him where he had heard all that and Johnny said Aunt Hester had taught it to him. Janet was very angry and forbade Hester ever to teach him anything again. Hester was quite hurt about it.
MRS. CLOUSTON
Naturally. Still, I do think Hester might have chosen something else to teach him.
