“Yes, we did. And we didn’t expect you so soon, and we thought we’d get cleaned up ’fore you came. But you came sooner than we ’spected, didn’t you?”
“Yes; we caught an earlier train than I thought we could.”

She’s done the best she could to take care of us Maynards, and make us behave. But nobody can make Maynards behave. Can they, Father?”
“No,” said Mr. Maynard, with twinkling eyes, and a glance at his wife; “no, nobody can make Maynards behave—but Maynards!”
