Although life at the Hurly-Burly was full of irritating incidents and even / serious disappointments which were caused by the general forgetfulness and / careless habits of the family, yet there were also many pleasures, and / Patty enjoyed the summer very much and became warmly attached to her / happy-go-lucky relatives.
Uncle Ted was kindness itself, and Aunt Grace was very loving and / affectionate towards her motherless niece. Bob and Bumble were trumps, and / Nan was so irresistibly funny that she made merry jokes of what would / otherwise have been real troubles.
