Chapter 1810

• Charlotte Burnes purchased a few ducklings a couple of days ago, and she mimicked the way the little ducklings walked. With both hands behind her back, she bent at the waist and deliberately swayed from side to side. Eugene Nolan spotted her and inquired, "Why are you walking like that?" She pointed to the little duckling and replied, "Duck, duck..." Eugene Nolan couldn't help but chuckle, "Is that how ducks walk?" The little girl nodded. Sometimes, she didn't just walk by herself; she had to call out names, getting several Alberts, and even DadMomGrandpaGrandma, Old Man Nolan (or old man if suitable) to walk like little ducklings with her. It entertained the household servants.
• Little Mara was very intrigued by all sorts of percussion instruments, and she even banged on the little drum her aunt had given her. Later, Eugene Nolan bought her a small drum set, and she played it skillfully.
• "Mara, would you like Grandma to brush your hair?" Ellen McCarthy gently coaxed the restless little girl. The little girl squirmed; she detested having her hair brushed the most. Although her hair wasn't very long, she could only manage to tie it into a ponytail. Perhaps she found tying her hair uncomfortable, but every time she had to spend some time brushing it.
