"If she locks me out, I can lie down on the steps and freeze."
What do you suppose your mamma'd say if she was to come upon it? I'd be blamed as usual!" "Who are They'?" persisted Gwendolyn. "'They' do so many things.

"Oh, isn't it nice to cook!" exclaimed Lulu, jumping up and down in her chair! "Such fun! I wish Mamma'd always let us do it." "What shall we make next?" asked May. "Jumbles," responded the senior partner briefly. "I like to make jumbles," cried May.
