Gradually our life at Moor House lost its holiday feeling, and as we
took up our usual habits and regular studies again, St John sat with us
more often. Sometimes I had the impression he was observing us. One day,
when Diana and Mary were out and I was learning German, he suddenly said
to me, 'I want you to learn Hindustani instead of German. I'll need it
for my missionary work in India, and you could help me to learn it by
studying with me. I've chosen you because I've noticed you have better
powers of concentration than either of my sisters.' It seemed so
important to him that I could not refuse, and when his sisters returned,
they were surprised to find me learning Hindustani with St John.
