Marjorie at Seacote

CHAPTER VI
5/18

"We'll go, if you tell us to.

Hey, Mops ?" "'Course we will! What shall we say to Mr.Nobody, Father ?" "First you must ring the doorbell, and if Nobody opens the door, walk in." "Ho! If Nobody opens the door, how _can_ we walk in ?" "Walk in.

And then if Nobody speaks to you, answer him politely, and say your father, one Mr.Maynard, desires his advice and assistance." "Oh, Father, I do believe you're crazy!" exclaimed Marjorie.
"Never mind," said King, "if Father's crazy, we'll be crazy too! What next, for orders ?" "After that, be guided by your own common sense and good judgment.
And,--you wouldn't be frightened at Nobody, would you ?" "No!" declared King.

"Nobody could frighten me!" "Oh, he could, could he?
Well, you are a foolish boy if Nobody could frighten you!" King looked a little confused, and then he laughed and said, "Well, I'd just as lieve fight Nobody, if he attacks me." "There'll be no cause to fight, my boy.

Now, skip along, and remember your message." "Yes, Mr.Edward Maynard wants advice and assistance from Nobody! Well, I guess that's right, Father, but it all sounds to me like an April Fool joke.
