“Why haven’t you been to see us?” asked Boo.
He smiled.
“I am remiss in those matters. I need education.”
“I’ll tell you what to do,” said Boo. “I know what people ought to do. Come and see mammy now.”
“Not now, my dear. I have other engagements.”
Boo’s brows knit together.
“People break engagements when I tell them,” she said with hauteur.
“Mine are business engagements.”
“Come!” she said with a stamp of one small foot.
