Then, because she had to punish some of her boys as all good mothers must, people made a big talk over it and said they were all badly brought up. Not content with all this, now within a few days they say that she shows favoritism in giving her boys pocket-money, that she doesn't give some of them enough to eat and that although she has plenty of money, she won't build an addition to the house, but allows the boys to be crowded out, to sleep in the shed or at the neighbor...
