"That's what's so tough --- just having to put up with it. It's a bloody awful shame, I know. But you'll feel a bit better by and by, I promise. Yes, you really will. There'll be tea, and sand castles, and your birthday, and Christmas. It's just as bad as can be now, I know; that's why things have got to get a bit better."
--- Lucy Culpepper,
The Embroidered Sunset, Joan Aiken, 1970
