She plopped down onto the ground, crying out, “If you don’t help me today I won’t get un! Everyone come

look at this! My daughter is an ungrateful wretch! She’s embarrassed by her mother’s lowly background, so she’s serving Old Mrs. Horton with such dedication! She wants to be their granddaughter now!”
