So Mr. Spoffard says his mother has to have him take care of her quite
a lot. Because Mr. Spoffards mothers brains have never really been so
strong. Because it seems his mother came from such a very fine old
family that even when she was quite a small size child she had to be
sent to a school that was a special school for people of very fine old
familys who had to have things very easy on their brain. So she still
has to have things very easy on her brain, so she has a girl who is
called her companion who goes with her everywhere who is called Miss
Chapman. Because Mr. Spoffard says that there is always something new
going on in the world which they did not get a chance to tell her about
at the school. So now Miss Chapman keeps telling her instead. Because
how would she know what to think about such a new thing as a radio, for
instance, if she did not have Miss Chapman to tell her what it was, for
instance. So Dorothy spoke up and Dorothy said, “What a responsibility
that girl has got on her shoulders. For instance, what if Miss Chapman
told her a radio was something to build a fire in, and she would get
cold some day and stuff it full of papers and light it.” But Mr.
Spoffard told Dorothy that Miss Chapman would never make such a
mistake. Because he said that Miss Chapman came from a very very fine
old family herself and she really had a fine brain. So Dorothy said,
“If she really has got such a fine brain I bet her fine old family once
had an ice man who could not be trusted.” So Mr. Spoffard and I did not
pay any more attention to Dorothy because Dorothy really does not know
how to hold a conversation.
