N2  - "The Mean-Wells" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of three siblings—Priscilla, Geoffrey, and Loveday—focusing on their childhood adventures and reflections. The narrative captures themes of sibling relationships, childhood innocence, and the trials of growing up, all portrayed through the endearing and often humorous interactions among the characters.  At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the dynamics between the siblings as they discuss the fairness surrounding rewards for losing teeth, igniting a debate between Priscilla and Geoffrey. The chapter showcases a vivid day in their life, full of activities such as a tooth extraction for Loveday, painting, driving, and a visit to a toy shop. Loveday’s excitement over her new paint box contrasts with Priscilla's grievances about inequality regarding rewards from their parents. This interplay sets the tone for the exploration of their childhood experiences, brimming with adventures and whimsy, inviting readers into a nostalgic and charming world of family life.
