You know mama well enough, I should think.

Aunt Lodema--funny name, isn't it ?--is stopping here all summer, with Beryl.

Beryl has the strangest tastes.

She _will_ spend every summer out here with her father, and if any of us poor mortals want a glimpse of her between seasons, we must come where she is.
She's a dear, and you must know her, even if you do hold yourself superior to us women.

She's almost as much a crank on athletics as you are; you ought to see her on the links, once! That's why I can't understand her running away off here every summer.
