Before election I shall send you my guess as to the way the different States will vote, and then you can keep it and see how near to the truth I come.

Ted and Ethel, as well as Archie and Quentin, are generally in Mother's room for twenty minutes or a half hour just before she dresses, according to immemorial custom.
