We Two

'We Two' is a romance novel by Edna Lyall. The main character of this novel, Brian Osmond, a young doctor who had not been very long settled in the Bloomsbury regions, fell in love with Erica, whom he describes as his «little girl,» though she was by no means little in the ordinary acceptation of the word, being at least sixteen, and rather tall for her years. But there was a sort of freshness and naivete and youthfulness about her that made him use that adjective. She usually carried a pile of books in a strap, so he conjectured that she must be coming from school, and, ever since he had first seen her, she had worn the same rough blue serge dress, and the same quaint little fur hat.
