Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 278, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 November 1913 — Would Be Informed. [ARTICLE]

Would Be Informed.

Maria had been naughty at the dinner table and her mother had sent her into the next room to remain until she was sorry for her behavior. Marie cheerfully complied. Making no expression of repentance after a suitable time had elapsed, her mother called from an adjoining room: “Maria, dear, aren’t you sorry?” No answer. On a repetition of the question, however, Marie replied, with a sweet and patient dignity: “Mamma, please don’t ask me any more. I’ll tell you when I’m sorry.”
