Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden.He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do,like digging a trench for the garbage,which would save hiring a man,and so he said that he’d stay at home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way.He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.
But of course we all felt that it would never do to let father stay home,especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did.The two girls,Anne and Mary,would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner,only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this.But they said that mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay at home and work.Will and I would have dropped out,but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.
