Later on, I bundled up all of Aunt's things and took them back. Unfortunately she wasn't in so I couldn't give her a piece of my mind regarding the dirty trick she had played on me. When Martha let me in she did give it to me--telling me that I should be wearing Aunt's clothes instead of my own--and nothing that I said softened her opinion in the slightest. So I left as quickly as possible with her arguments for my wearing skirts ringing in my

ears.

During the ensuing week I saw Aunt several times, and on each occasion she urged me to dress in her clothing again--for every reason I gave her for not wishing to do so, she gave me ten in re- turn, and she was not alone in this for Mother and the two maids abetted her.

I was finally reduced to saying, "No!" and letting it go at that.

Even then, I was plagued with questions, such as, "But why not Davy? You can't say, 'No!', without some reason.

This heckling tried my patience more and more, until one after- noon when we were at Aunt's, and it had been going on steadily for an hour, I blurted out, "Aunt; I will dress up once more if you will let me alone. I'm getting sick and tired of your teasing."

Aunt thought for a minute, then said, "I'll make a bargain with you Davy. You dress as I wish for a month, and I'll promise to stop." Of course I hooted at this proposal, but our bargaining continued--finally ending by my agreeing to do as she wished for one week, starting the next afternoon. The next day, Martha was leaving for a vacation and Aunt was coming to stay with us during her absence. A week was a long time, but I knew Aunt would keep her word and it was worth it to be free of the heckling.
