I am sure there is not one of that happy band of children who played about "Sen's House" who has not found the greatest comfort and support from our upbringing. My eldest brother, in particular, was very religious, and carried on my father's work, helped by his wife, who copied many of my father's prayers and taught in the Victoria College when it needed teachers.

My second brother, Nirmal, is a most amiable and easygoing man. He is now in the India Office in London and works hard for the welfare of Indian students in London, a subject upon which he has very decided ideas. He is very popular, always ready to help others, and is very happy in his home life. He married a Miss Luddhi. My third brother, Profullo, was wonderfully gifted. He was a most affectionate little friend to me when I was a bride in the big house in Calcutta, and was almost always with me. On several occasions when I went to England with my children, and my dear husband could not go, Profullo went instead and managed everything. He was my children's favourite uncle.
