Ethelyn is very nice in some ways, but she is affected and rude, and I don't like her as well as Clara Hayden, if she _is_ my cousin.

Reginald is a nice boy, but he's sort of pompous and conceited, and thinks he's better than any one else in the world.

Little Florelle is a dear, but she cries so easily that I can't have much fun with her.

But there, now I've told you all the bads, I'll tell you some of the goods.

Miss Morton, the governess, is a lovely lady, and when Ethelyn is so cross I can't stand her, I go to Miss Morton, and we have a walk or a drive together, and have nice, pleasant talks.
