Miss Pickett. No indeed. My nephew Robert has one, and on one occasion he wished to have a discussion with his father. My brother Jonas is quick tempered and will never listen to argument so Robert invited him out in his canoe, and when he had Jonas out in the middle of the river he opened up the subject. Poor Jonas didn’t dare to walk up and down the way he usually does, but he had to sit still and listen calmly for Robert warned him that the canoe would upset at the slightest motion.
Hilda. It was very diplomatic of Robert.
Miss Morgan. We can sit by the lake and enjoy the breezes.
Lucille. And hear the very latest in the line of dyspepsia and sciatica.
Miss Pickett. Well Lucille, you may accept Betty’s kind offer of a middy blouse and skirt. Hang your coat carefully on a hanger and don’t fall into the lake whatever you do.
Hope. (softly) Hang your clothes on a hickory limb but don’t go near the water.
Betty. Come on girls for we must crowd two weeks’ fun into a single day.
