I didn't know but she would wait until night.

Father usually spends his hour after dinner reading in the library and mustn't be disturbed.

My, but I hated to go! Fathers and Aunt Janes are two different propositions.

Fathers have more rights and privileges, of course.
Everybody knows that.
Well, I went into the library.
