‘In each of these visits it was always my beloved Aunt Charlotte who entertained me,--if I may use the word,--though I was a mere child; and she did it just as if I were a grown-up person. I could never see that she took less pains to interest me than she did to please the many grown-up people who called. She usually entertained us in her room behind the dining-room, so that my grandmother should not be wearied too much.
