"Yes," said Susan, "they're all faulty."
"I don't see any fault in this one, Susie," said Gertrude.
"That one has the kitchen chimney in the pantry," Susan explained.
"Dear me! that would never do," said the mother. "Of all things, I dote on a cool pantry. What with the baking and the laundry-work, that chimney would keep the pantry all the while het up. It would be handy for canned fruits and jellies in the winter, though—so many of ours froze and bursted last winter."
"Now, this one," said Gertrude—"I'm sure this is all right, Susie. I can't see anything wrong about this one."
"Why, don't you see? That kitchen hasn't a door in it except the cellar-door," said Susan.
"Well, I declare!" Gertrude said. "What ridiculous plans you do make, Susie! The idea of planning a kitchen without a door!"
"Why, that would never do, Susan," the mother objected. "Folks never could take all the victuals and things down through the cellar."
"I warrant I could plan a house, and a model house, the first time," Gertrude boasted.
"Try it," replied Susan quietly.
