I laughed, I remember, thinking that they had forgotten the post-bag.
When the post-bag arrived at the house on Monday morning, it was opened as usual by the squire himself at the breakfast-table.
When the post-bag arrived, he would select his letters and lay them aside for reading in the seclusion of his library.
The coming of the post-bag had been scarcely noticed in the school-room that morning.
Unfortunately, Mr. Nevill has been content to give us merely gleanings of his mother's notebooks and post-bag.
