"Are you sisters?" was the next question.
"No, we are only friends," Edna answered this time.
"And is the gentleman who came with you your father?"
"No, he is just taking us to his house where we are going to make a visit."
"Is he any relation to you?" came next.
"No relation at all. He is the father of the friend we are going to visit." It was Dorothy's turn this time.
"And do your mothers approve of your going off this way without a member of your family?"
This question the children thought a very disagreeable one. They looked at one another before Dorothy made reply. "If it wasn't exactly right our parents wouldn't let us do it. They never let us do a thing that isn't exactly right."
[29] "And nobody knows what is right so well as my mother," Edna chimed in.
"Mine, too," put in Dorothy.
