2. Don't let Rosie touch grandmother's blue china, because she'll
break it as sure as fate if she lays her big, thick Swedish fingers
on it.

3. Don't forget your warmer underwear. The nights are getting
chilly.

4. I forgot to put the cover on the sewing machine. Please do that
for me or it'll get all dusty.

5. Don't let the cat run loose in the house at night: he always
breaks something.

6. Send your socks and anything else that needs darning over to Mrs.
McNally, she can do it for you.

7. Don't forget to feed the pigs.

8. Don't forget to mend the weathervane on the barn.

9. Don't forget to send that barrel of apples over to the cider mill
or you won't have any cider to drink when Mr. Decameron comes up to
see us later in the fall.

10. Just to make ten commandments, I'll add one more: You might
'phone to Mrs. Collins that the Dorcas will have to meet at some
one else's house next week, because I don't know just when I'll get
back. I may be away a fortnight more. This is my first holiday in a
long time and I'm going to chew it before I swallow it.
