Kathryn: You think you have issues with Spanish? Listen. My Nellie started Spanish lessons in school last fall. With that faith in the omniscience of Daddies that is so touching in young ones, yet so fragile, she has been asking me to help with her homework.

Oh well, they’re bound to see through us sooner or later.
