So I decided to do the thing myself. I thought I'd see how you
would like being left all alone to run the house. I thought it'd be
pretty nice for me to get things off my mind a while and have an
adventure of my own.
Now, Andrew, here are some directions for you:
1. Don't forget to feed the chickens twice a day, and collect _all_
the eggs. There's a nest behind the wood pile, and some of the
Wyandottes have been laying under the ice house.
2. Don't let Rosie touch grandmother's blue china, because she'll
break it as sure as fate if she lays her big, thick Swedish fingers
on it.
3. Don't forget your warmer underwear. The nights are getting
chilly.
4. I forgot to put the cover on the sewing machine. Please do that
for me or it'll get all dusty.
5. Don't let the cat run loose in the house at night: he always
breaks something.
6. Send your socks and anything else that needs darning over to Mrs.
McNally, she can do it for you.
7. Don't forget to feed the pigs.
8. Don't forget to mend the weathervane on the barn.
