Lady Helen, who had been accompanied by her husband, Mr. Rhys Winterborne, was far more reserved than the twins.

But one of the saddest, most deprecating misuses of power is the withholding of love, affirmation, and delight from other people. Few things keep people in line with our wishes more than an attitude of reserve or aloofness.
