Alexandra's Sister Will Keep the Land Together

Alexandra went to the door and back into her brothers, two strapping boys of 17 and 19. Their father looked at them searchingly. They were just the same boys he told himself. Warily: I want no quarrels among my children. And so long as there is one house, there must be one hat. Alexandra will manage the best she can. If she makes mistakes, she will not make so many as I have made.
