Mamma and Papa's Efforts

Meg decided to try a social evening with john. The children tyrannized over her and ruled the house as soon as they found out that kicking and squalling brought them whatever they wanted. But papa was not so easily subjugated, and occasionally afflicted his tender spouse by an attempt at paternal discipline with his obstreperous son. Like the englishman, baby respected the man who conquered him and loved the father whose grave no no was more impressive than all mamma's love.
