Had the inhabitants of Hazelbury seen the Rev. Claude Hodson on a / certain winter's afternoon about a fortnight after the events recorded / in the last chapter took place, crawling about the floor of his sitting / room on all fours, minus a coat, but with a rug thrown across his back, / and roaring in imitation of some wild beast, they would scarcely have / recognised him as their quiet and grave young curate.
With children, he felt thoroughly at ease, and specially with his / little friends the Fortescues. Nothing gave him greater pleasure than / to have all four of them to spend the afternoon with him and to stay to / tea.
