“I think so myself,” replied his father.
“And what does the secretary do?” asked Mary.
“The secretary keeps the record. He writes an account of every meeting.”
“Does he write all that every body says?” asked Rollo.
“No,” said his father, “only the decisions.”
“Well,” said Rollo, with a tone of satisfaction, “and the cabinet keeper keeps the cabinet, I suppose.”
“Yes,” said his father, “and so all disputings about where the things are to be placed in the cabinet, are avoided; for he decides the whole. He must be a person of judgment and skill.”
“Jonas would be a good cabinet keeper for us,” said Rollo.
“I think you had better form a regular society, Rollo,” said Mary.
