About this book
The Book of One Syllable, by Esther Bakewell, is illustrated with coloured engravings. A page headed To the Friends of My Youth says that fast and far is the stream of time flown on, yet there are thoughts of dear friends and of by-gone things that will not yield to its course. A girl named Ruth Grey goes into the green-house room in Mr. Grey's house, where the stand holds sponge cakes, plum cakes and queen cakes.
The young ones of Mr. Hart feel his fault hard to bear, and so great is their fear of him that, when he is in the room, they do not dare to speak, or to laugh, or to move. When Rose has got a firm grasp, Mark does what he can to drag her out; she stands at the edge of the pond, her clothes thick with mud and slime.
