"It does not!"

"It does, too!"

"It does not!"

"I--say--it--does!" and Janet was very positive.

"Now, now, children!" chided their mother. "That isn't nice. What
are you disputing about now?"

"Jan says her forgetter's better'n mine!" cried Ted.

"And it is," insisted Janet. "I can forget lots easier than Ted."

"Well, forgetting isn't a very good thing to do," said Mr. Martin.
"Remembering is better."

"Oh, that's what I meant!" said Jan. "I thought it was a forgetter.
Anyhow mine's better'n Ted's!"

"Now don't start that again," warned Mother Martin, playfully
shaking her finger at the two children. "Be nice now. Amuse
yourselves in some quiet way. It will soon be time to go to bed. You
must be tired. Be nice now."

"Come on, let's go for a walk," proposed Jan again, and Ted, now
that the forget-memory dispute was over, was willing to be friendly
and kind and go with his sister.
