"Dad always likes me to do what I wish," replied Kathleen calmly. "Well, don't do it again. It's extremely displeasing both to David and me." Kathleen laughed. "Dave gobbled up his sausage and his sardines," she said. "Don't do it again, that's all." Kathleen nodded her head, and again buried herself in her book.
Clate'th got all the law here a young man can get; he'th gobbled up Dave and Phil'th share of the thing. John will be the coming M. D. of the town, and Bill Mead already taketh to the bank like a duck to water. I'm going to try the Wetht. What word may I take to Phil for you?" "There's nothing to say," Marjie answered.
