The next day the children tried very hard to be good. It was not easy, / for Grandma seemed especially punctilious, and reprimanded them for every / little thing. She told them of the party in the afternoon, and taught / them how to make curtseys to greet the guests.
"I know how to curtsey," said Marjorie. "I always do it at home, when / mother has callers. But I don't curtsey to children."
