Susan is putting in the garden, and mother and she are housecleaning, and we Junior Reds are getting up a concert in aid of the Belgians.

We have been practising for a month and having no end of trouble and bother with cranky people.

Miranda Pryor promised to help with a dialogue and when she had her part all learnt her father put his foot down and refused to allow her to help at all.

I am not blaming Miranda exactly, but I do think she might have a little more spunk sometimes.

If she put her foot down once in a while she might bring her father to terms, for she is all the housekeeper he has and what would he do if she 'struck'?
If I were in Miranda's shoes I'd find some way of managing Whiskers-on-the-moon.
