For the most part it must be candidly admitted by their warmest admirer, fish make very bad parents indeed.
"Inspiration or no, I shall hunt her to bed, if I don't hear her door shut by twelve," said Lydia with sisterly determination. "Do you think, darling, that Susy will ever make a great deal of money by her writings?" The tone was wistful. "Well, no, mother, candidly, I don't. There's no money in tragedies so I'm told." Mrs. Penfold sighed.
"I was under the impression that the council was much larger," I replied candidly. "It is, but this is the leadership; we felt that the clamors of a full legislature would be overwhelming to you at first. I know it still overwhelms me sometimes," he laughed, and the others with him.
