William the Outlaw
“They had not at any rate been subjected to relentless and unceasing persecution as they were now. It was not Georgie who persecuted them. It was their own parents. But I will explain the connection between the advent of Georgie Murdoch and the persecution of the Outlaws. Before Georgie came to the Laurels the Outlaws’ parents had realised that the Outlaws were characterised chiefly by roughness, untidiness, unpunctuality, lack of cleanliness and various kindred vices. They mentioned these fault...s to their possessors in a manner expressive of a resigned disgust several times a day. But they always said to each other, ‘Well, boys will be boys,’ or, ‘They’re all as bad as each other,’ or, ‘I’ve never known a boy who wasn’t like that.’ They were in fact consoled by the reflection that the Perfect Boy did not exist.
And then Georgie Murdoch came to live at the Laurels and Georgie Murdoch was the Perfect Boy.
