In the ten months since he returned to Misselthwaite Manor, Archibald Craven has awakened to other responsibilities besides caring for his children. Today he has tended to one of his long-ignored duties as the Master of Misselthwaite, visiting his tenants and caring for their needs. For the most part, the tenants are a healthy, hard-working lot whose difficulties involve leaky roofs or, at the worst, some trouble with alcohol. Mr. Craven called for his workmen to fix the damaged roofs, and spoke rather firmly to the drunken tenant in the village. To his surprise, he found that he rather enjoyed the day.
By now Archibald is quite tired. He feels he deserves a glass of wine at Milliways, and perhaps some of the bar's other amenities later on.
