This is the age of stomach troubles. What are we to give him to eat? I do not know. I offer him adult diet the tender leaves of a lettuce. He disdains to bite it; or perhaps his bites escape me, so tiny would they be. In a few days, what with my ten households, I see myself loaded with family cares.
In the first there are radishes, in the second lettuce, in the third onions, in the fourth beans, in the fifth sunflowers. I hope my garden grows up. Of course these are only preparatory for profitable work.

His question was answered with grave respect, and no surprise manifested.
Outside the slamming of an automobile door announced Dick's return, and almost immediately Minnie rang the old fashioned gong which hung in the lower hall. Mrs. Crosby got up and placed a leaf of lettuce between the bars of the bird cage. "Dinner time, Caruso," she said absently. Caruso was the name Dick had given the bird. And to David: "She must be in her thirties now." "Probably."
