If you enjoy her half as much as we enjoy our niece you'll consider yourself a lucky woman to have her.

I know I'm a lucky woman, Mrs. Bracken answered heartily.

I never realized what made this building seem almost depressing until Mary Rose came into it. What is this Mrs. Schuneman tells me about Mary Rose's bird? I'm so sorry. She was so attached to Jenny Lind. Do you really think that Mr. Wells had anything to do with it?

Oh, Mrs. Bracken, how could any man with a heart steal a child's pet bird!

Of course, we all know that Mr. Wells is queer, Mrs. Bracken remarked when she finished.

Mrs. Schuneman said she understood that he had complained to Brown and Lawson, but don't you worry, Mrs. Donovan. Mr. Wells is not the only tenant and I rather think the rest of us will have something to say. If he objects to Harriet Mr. Bracken will tell him quite plainly what he thinks. And there are others. We all like Mr. Donovan. He's a good janitor, willing and pleasant, and we won't let him be discharged without a protest. Perhaps I shouldn't tell you, but Mr. Strahan has written out a petition to send to the owner and everyone in the building will sign it, I know, except perhaps Mr. Wells. And she laughed as if Mr. Wells' not signing the petition was a joke.

One against twenty won't have much influence.

Thank you for telling me that. Larry's tried, I know, and it isn't easy to please so many people. We don't know who the owner is so we can only talk to the agents, but a petition signed by everybody ought to prove to them that Mary Rose isn't a nuisance.

Anything but a nuisance!
