Alan’s experiments were often not appreciated by the adults in the house. He was considered to be a cheeky child and was often in trouble with his mother, Nanny Thompson, and Mrs. Ward. He spoke very well for his age and made up some creative phrases—for example, instead of saying “for a long time” he would say “for so many morrows.” Like many small children, though, Alan had tantrums when he didn’t get his own way. When his mother returned to India in the fall, she said to Alan, “You’ll be a good boy, won’t you?” Alan replied honestly: “Yes, but sometimes I shall forget!”

The next spring, Alan’s parents visited. This time, his mother decided to stay in England for three years. John was sent away to boarding school, and Alan, now four, lived with his mother in St Leonards. She loved to paint and she took Alan to her sketching parties, where the little boy—with his big eyes and sailor hat—would often be the center of attention among the young art students. Alan’s mother also took him to the Anglican church every weekend for the communion service. This was much less enjoyable. There was always incense burning, and Alan didn’t like it at all: he called it “the church with the bad smells.”
