They were very boisterous and were all the time on the verge of mischief, and finally they made spit-balls and deliberately put them on the portraits.

They were four very sheepish small boys when I got through with them. JOHN BURROUGHS AND THE FLYING SQUIRRELS White House, May 10, 1908. DEAREST ARCHIE: Mother and I had great fun at Pine Knot. Mr. Burroughs, whom I call Oom John, was with us and we greatly enjoyed having him.
