Eleanor’s Father Eleanor was brought up by her father. He grew up in Victorian times. «Children should be seen and not heard.» This was the motto of Victorian England. Life was hard, and parents were strict. Eleanor’s father was fifty when his youngest daughter was born. The family had already six children, and Eleanor’s mother did not pay much attention to her. But her father did. He was a gentleman with refined manners. Eleanor kissed her father’s forehead before bedtime. He never gave her a kiss in all his life. Emotions and close contacts were out of the question at that time. But Eleanor knew that her father loved her dearly, and loved him back. He did not speak much, but commented on important things. He took his youngest daughter for a walk every day. He gave her his finger and they went to explore the world. Eleanor’s father was very fond of Literature. He often sat in his rocking chair and recited poems. Little Eleanor sat at his feet and listened. He read poems for hours. He completely forgot about everything. When he looked down and saw his daughter, he was surprised. «Are you still here?» — he used to ask. Eleanor inherited his love of Literature. She grew up, got married and had a big family. Years went by. She lost her husband, and her children left her house. She started writing. She wrote about everything: about her childhood, about her father, she described real events and made things up. She won a few writing competitions and got published. «I don’t know where all these stories come from. It’s all my father. He gave me a very good upbringing — he taught me to love books.»
