One aunt was Dutch Reformed and the other Baptist; and neither ever missed a service.

Annie remained at home Sundays, and read aloud to her grandmother, and when both aunts were in the midst of their respective services, and the cook, who was intensely religious, engaged in preparing dinner, she and her old grandmother played pinocle.

However, although Annie played cards very well, it was only with her relatives.

She had never been allowed to join the Fairbridge Card Club.

She never attended a play in the city, because Aunt Jane considered plays wicked.
