Excerpt: ...have good servants, Marjorie?" "Yes, Mrs. Spencer, I think so. They're the ones we've always had." "Well, mine wouldn't come with me from the city, so I had to get some here. And the cook has a small child, and to-day he's ill, -really quite ill, -and the waitress is helping the cook, and so I had to bring up this tray myself."

Excerpt: ...have good servants, Marjorie?" "Yes, Mrs. Spencer, I think so. They're the ones we've always had." "Well, mine wouldn't come with me from the city, so I had to get some here. And the cook has a small child, and to-day he's ill, -really quite ill, -and the waitress is helping the cook, and so I had to bring up this tray myself." "Can't I help you in some way, Mrs. Spencer?" asked Marjorie, impulsively. It was her nature to be helpful, though it would never have occurred to Delight to make such an offer.

"It must be awful," said Marjorie, "to be a cook and have your little boy ill, and no time to attend to him, because you have to cook for other people." Delight stared at her. "I think the awful part," she said, "is to have your cook's baby get ill, so she can't cook your dinner." "Delight, that is selfish, and I don't think you ought to talk so." "I don't think it's selfish to want the services of your own servants. That's what you have them for, -to cook and work for you. They oughtn't to let their little boys get sick." "I don't suppose they do it on purpose," said Midge, half laughing and half serious; "but I'm sorry for your cook anyway." "I'm sorry for us! But, gracious, Marjorie, hear her cry! The little boy must be awfully sick!" "Yes, indeed! She's just screaming! Shall we go down?" "No, I'm sure mother wouldn't like us to. But...
