Nellie was there like a duck when it came to cooking, and they didn't understand how they got along without her before. Everything went fine, and after each meal the entire family of ten would go out to the kitchen and jolly her up. When her birthday came they blew themselves right and bought her clothes spiffy enough for the Queen of England. Then Nellie began to make eyes at the men and within a week had suitors galore. One morning Mrs. Todd went downstairs and found a note from Nellie saying that she had gone away to marry the butcher. The family was then forced to go back to the Canal Boat Junk.
