MARJORIE IN COMMAND BY CAROLYN WELLS Illustrator: Julie C. Pratt Produced by Mardi Desjardins, Waverley Dovey Language: English Release Date: November 19, 2017 “Well,” said Marjorie, “I think it’s too perfectly, awfully, horribly dreadful for anything in all this world!” “I do, too,” agreed King. “It’s a calamity, and a catastrophe and a cat,—a cata—cataclysm!” “Of course it is,” said Kitty, who was philosophical. “But as it’s all settled, and we’ve got to live through it, we may as well make the best of it.” “The best of it!” grumbled King; “there isn’t any best! It’s all outrageously horrid, and that’s all there is about it! I don’t see how we can stand it.” “S’pose we say we just won’t stand it,” suggested Marjorie; “do you think they’d stay home?” “No, indeedy!” declared King. “You know as well as I do, the tickets are bought, and everything is arranged for.” “Even us,” said Kitty, sadly. “Yes; even us,” repeated her brother. “And how are we arranged for? Left in charge of Larkin! Old Loony Larkin!” “Hush, King, that’s disrespectful,” said Marjorie, laughing in spite of herself. “Well, she is old; and she is Larkin; and I think she’s loony!” “But you mustn’t say so, if you do,” persisted Marjorie. “Indeed you mustn’t,” said Mrs. Maynard, coming into the living room where the three children were holding an indignation meeting. “I’m ashamed of you, King!” “Aw, Mother, forgive me this once, and I won’t ever say such a thing again till next time.” Kingdon sidled up to his mother, and nestled his cheek against hers in such a cajoling way, that Mrs. Maynard smiled, and forbore further reproof just then. “But, dearies all,” she went on, “you mustn’t take such an attitude toward Miss Larkin; she’s good and kind and will look after you nicely till I return.”
