"There's probably something in the idea of school. I think children of her own age would be a good thing for Josephine."
"Grandfather didn't think so," said Sophia obstinately.
I felt slightly irritated.
"My dear Sophia, do you really think an old gentleman of over eighty is the best judge of a child's welfare?"
"He was about the best judge of anybody in this house," said Sophia.
"Better than your Aunt Edith?"
"No, perhaps not. She did rather favour school. I admit Josephine's got into rather tt difficult ways - she's got a horrible habit of snooping. But I really think it's just because she's playing detectives."
Was it only the concern for Josephine's welfare which had occasioned Magda's sudden decision? I wondered. Josephine was remarkably well informed about all sorts of things that had happened prior to the murder and which had been certainly no business of hers. A healthy school life with plenty of games would probably do her a world of good. But I did rather wonder at the suddenness and urgency of Magda's decision - Switzerland was a long way off.
