Stephen giggled. “No blinking fear! Chas likes to watch things, but he won’t take eggs or kill butterflies or anything like that. Don’t go off thinking he’s a sissy—he ain’t! But he has some rum ideas about that sort of thing. Come on! They’re leaving us behind.” And he set off to scramble as hard as he could after the others. |

The Richardsons had already decided that the second
Maynard boy was the most silent person they had ever met. It wasn’t
shyness; that was quite clear, for if he wanted to talk, Charles said all
he had to say without fear or favour. It was simply that unless he had
anything to say, he held his tongue. Now, he turned away to stroll along
by himself, his dark grey eyes keen to see any tiny happenings as he went.
“Is Chas going to be a naturalist?” Ruey asked Margot as they followed Joey. Margot shook her head. “You know as much as I do. He’s never said anything about it, though he’s awfully keen on nature things. Steve’s going to be an engineer and Mike means to enter the Navy. It’s the only thing he’s keen on. But no one knows what Chas means to do.” |

I think Charles is destined to be a priest... I know that last sounds remarkably vague, but it just reminds me of some of the things said about Margot before she broke the news of her vocation. |

I realize that I am completely talking through my hat with
this. It's the end of a long day. I apologize, but I enjoyed writing this,
and I am picturing the rise of the epic
Maynard Dynasty. Chang |

Going by the age gaps EBD seems to like Steven would probably end up with someone like Lucy Peters |

Is Rix's appearance in Ruey only in the HB? I don't remember it in the pb-evil armada! |
