I felt it is right ______ you should know.

A. whether  B. and  C. that  D. how

My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?”

“You bet,” I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous school. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper position(位置)in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯) at a very low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.

This could only be his nice way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to the dropped. I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

It seemed that he happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice man, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.

“Oh, he doesn’t want to go away,” said my mother. “You shouldn’t go on like this.” “It’s up to him,” said my father. “He can make up his own mind.”
