Aunt Hattie, putting on her hat after a Sunday afternoon visit to one of her married nephews, said to eight-year-old Johnny, “And, young man, would you like to walk with me to the bus stop?”
　　” No,” Johnny said.
　　”Why not?” asked Aunt Hattie.
　　”Because we're going to start eating dinner as soon as you go.”
