“What are you going to do in the winter, Maida?” Rosie asked.
“I don’t know,” Maida answered. “Father hasn’t made up his mind yet and it all depends of course upon what he is going to do.”
“Then if he went to Europe, you’d go too?”
“Yes,” Maida admitted. “But I don’t think we’ll go to Europe. At least,” she added conscientiously, “he hasn’t said we would. I don’t know what we’ll do.”
“But if you don’t go to Europe, will you go to school?” Silva asked.
“I don’t know,” Maida responded. “Perhaps I’ll have a governess.”
“What would you rather do, Maida?” persisted Rosie.
