E. Nesbit Quotes

She Had Been To Her Great-Aunt Willoughby's Before, And She Knew Exactly What To Expect. She Would Be Asked About Her Lessons, And How Many Marks She Had, And Whether She Had Been A Good Girl. I Can't Think Why Grownup People Don't See How Impertinent These Questions Are. Suppose You Were To Answer:
"I'm The Top Of My Class, Auntie, Thank You, And I Am Very Good. And Now Let Us Have A Little Talk About You, Aunt, Dear. How Much Money Have You Got, And Have You Been Scolding The Servants Again, Or Have You Tried To Be Good And Patient, As A Properly Brought Up Aunt Should Be, Eh, Dear?"
Try This Method With One Of Your Aunts Next Time She Begins Asking You Questions, And Write And Tell Me What She Says.
