myself." So next year he marked them all, in very neat printing, W. Good.
Luckily by this time Wilhelmina's hair had begun to curl. Every night Nurse spent ten minutes with a wet comb, combing it round her finger. William's hair curled naturally, too, but not so naturally as this, and in a little while you could tell at once which was Wilhelmina and which wasn't. If you will look at the picture, you will see how right I am about this. Mr. Good always says that he and I are the only people of any real intelligence left in the world . . . and that I am not what I was. However, I do my best; and I know I am right about this. The one with the curly hair is Wilhelmina.
One night when they were fast-asleep-like-good-children, Wilhelmina said:
"I'm very clever, I can hear in the dark I'm so clever."
