Whereupon he suddenly began to whet his scythe with such vim as positively startled Betty. The Maxwells were, in fact, effectively stirring up the ambitions of their flock, routing the older members out of a too easy-going acceptance of things-as-they-are, and giving to the younger ones vistas of a life imbued with more color and variety than had hitherto entered their consciousness.
But then you know I'm very stupid about some things, Virginia. Fact is, I'm just stupid enough to imagine no, I mean think that it would be the most natural thing in the world to go straight to the Maxwells and thank 'em for all they've done for your father in takin' him in and givin' him the kind of care that money can't buy.
