"You ought to think of Mummy, Daddy ducky; and you ought to think of us," said Dorothy. "I," said John, "haven't got anybody to think of. I'm not going to be married, and I haven't any children." "I haven't got a wife and children yet," said Nicky. "You've got Veronica. You ought to think of her." "I am thinking of her. You don't suppose Veronica'd stop me if I wanted to go?

"We merely answered when we were spoken to." "While Ducky Lucky thought you were answering for each other," Sally chuckled. "Oh, why didn't somebody give me a twin.
