"I declare," complained Mrs Duzzit, "I shall certainly have to punish the children." "What have they been ud to now?*' asks 'Mr Duzzit.
"They have simply un^et my sawing room. Nothing is whj;e it should be. Needless spools of thread, scissors, darning balls, and everything have been poked away into the most unexpected corners. I had to pearch all the afternoon to find a card of buttons It is perfectly exasperating !"
"ily dear, the children didn't do that. I did it." "You ! What possessed you?" I "J thought I was doing you a kindness. After you straightened xlt> the papers and.books in my desk «> beautifully I thought it was no more than right that I should return the compliment by putting your sewing room in similar shape!"
