I've been
listening to you all my life, Daddy, and remembering mother, reading,
thinking, and watching for what really pays, and believe me, _I've found
out_. I gave Nellie Minturn the best in my heart the other day, but you
should see what I got back. Horrors, Daddy! Just plain horrors! I said to
Douglas that night when I read him the letter I afterward showed you, that
if, as she suggested, I was 'ever faintly tempted to neglect home life for
society,' in her I would have all the 'horrible example' I'd ever need,
and rest assured I shall."
"Poor woman!" exclaimed Mr. Winton.
"Exactly!" cried Leslie. "And the poorest thing about it is that _she_ is
not to _blame_ in the least. You and my mother could have made the same
kind of a woman of me. If you had fed me cake instead of bread; if you had
given me candy instead of fruit; if you had taken me to the show instead
of entertaining me at home; if you had sent me to summer resorts instead
of summering with me in the country, you'd have had another Nellie on your
hands.
