Miss
Yes, she is a mere child, but you have to keep an eye on her all the time already. You have no idea how girls are spoiled at school. Just imagine! The other day I caught her keeping a date.
Husband

Miss
Yes! She was out walking one evening at half-past seven with a boy from the school across the way. A mere child like her!
Husband
And what did you do?
Miss
I gave her a spanking.
