About this book
Jealousy troubles Dudley Wylde as he recalls his childhood at Flaxy's birthday gathering. He tells the other children about sharing his uncle's home in England with his cousin Bernard, whose accomplishments and appearance seemed to threaten his own place in the family. Their visit to a ruined castle turns resentment into danger among broken stairs and a deep vault. The party setting lets the children interrupt, question and respond to Dudley's account.
Other stories in this collection connect Christian teaching with the effort that kindness requires. In George and Alick, George wheels an injured boy home through the mud, then chooses a visit to him over a cricket match. Repeated visits and games offer companionship during Alick's recovery. These scenes give readers concrete examples of patience and care, while the opening story examines how envy can distort a child's understanding of affection.
