Little Lord Fauntleroy Summary: Chapter 4

In Chapter 4 of Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Cedric’s mother informed him that his home was not to be hers. At first he took it very hard, but his mother managed him so sweetly and lovingly, and made him feel that she would be so near him, that after awhile he ceased to be oppressed by the fear of any real parting. Ceddie however was not told the reasoning behind this arrangement. Then Mr. Havisham and Ceddie discussed Cedric’s grandfather, the Earl. Ceddie once again made friends with all he met, though this time it was on a voyage. Several days later, Ceddie, Mamma, Mary, and Mr. Havisham arrived at the lodge in which Mamma and Mary were to stay. Cedric stayed for the night; he go to one of his granfather’s castles tomorrow morning. Later in the evening, Mr. Havisham had a talk with the Earl about Ceddie. Mr. Havisham did not tell the Earl much, so he could form his own opinion of his grandson.
