DELAYED GRATIFICATION

The boys have decided not to open their presents from Father Xmas until Xmas Morning – such self-control!

To pass the time, Byron is enjoying himself by checking out the books in the Library. 

Wilson, however, is sitting in his arm chair staring at his present, consumed with curiosity, wondering what it can possibly be.

I shall be astonished if he hasn't given in and opened it before Xmas Day!
