" But May Amelia, Miss EcEwing says, Proper Young Ladies don't go gallivanting around the world on ships.
Well I sure ain't no Proper Young Lady Miss McEwing, you can ask any of my brothers here.
And every child starts laughing and Wilbert laughs so hard he falls off his chair.
Miss EcEwing tries to look serious, but finally her eyes crinkle merrily and she laughs too. "
