'' `` Yes , sir , I 'll make time , '' said Ted , as soon as he could speak at all for the wonder of it . `` I 'll get up at four in the morning and have an hour 's practising before the time for the cows . But I 'm afraid it 'll be too much trouble for you , sir , I 'm afraid -- '' Blair Milford laughed and put his slim white hand on Ted 's curly head . `` It is n't much trouble to train an artist .

I 'm to have lessons -- I have always longed to have them . ''
