...Assistant President's statements seemed a trifle brash, the last at least was indisputable. So many people still could not believe that young Mr. Roosevelt's father's current $5,000,000,000 pump-priming program would promptly end the current Depression that, even though Son Roosevelt's arguments were being stated less ingenuously by James A.

All hands join in deviling the succession of governesses. For awhile it looks as though they have met their match when one ruthlessly honest governess gives them as good as she gets; but when she herself catches the Ponsonby family disease of dishonesty, all attempts at family betterment end.
