But I know he's very famous, and that he's written up in the papers and magazines, and is in the big fat red "Who's Who" in the library, and has lots of noted men come to see him.
Nurse says that Grandma Anderson died very soon after I was born, but that it didn't make any particular difference in the housekeeping; for things went right on just as they had done, with her giving the orders as before; that she'd given them all alone anyway, mostly, the last year Grandma Anderson lived, and she knew just how Father liked things.

She said Mother tried once or twice to take the reins herself, and once Nurse let her, just to see what would happen.

But things got in an awful muddle right away, so that even Father noticed it and said things.

After that Mother never tried again, I guess.

Anyhow, she's never tried it since I can remember.
