to put them in when they are bad girls it is a room to one side of the playground in which i watched them play for an hour when one of the babies is dis obedient the nurse takes her by the hand and leads her to trie room where she leaves her all alone for a few minutes but when i saw the nurse putting them there it didnt seem to do much good as they al ways got into mischief again a few- minutes later they did not actually cry when they were in the jail but when the nurse was leading them to it they kicked and screamed a bit no one else calls it a jail but i thought that was a good name for

and the muse had to run after her when she finally caught her and got the toque on her cecile took it right off again the nurse was patient and put it on again this time she fastened the strap that goes under the chin cecile left it on then as something else attracted her attention the quintuplets have a great time trying to get through the gate that leads to their rest room one- time annette and cecile were both caught in the little gate they fell down and began to scream it wasnt really crying they just wanted to call the rurse to open the gate and rescue them it is very seldom the quints fight but yvonne and cecile both wanted a chair at the same time they were each pulling on it when the nursa saw them she came and took cecile away as yvonne had the chair first another time marie was playing on the prairies with a doll carriage and yvonne came along and started snatching at it the nurse made yvonne let go and stop pestering marie i seem to have said a lot about them being naughty and dr dafoe may not like that but that was what interested me most but they ate very nice to each other usually once cecile got into her wagon and marie pulled her everyone says marie likes playing horse she pull ed the wagon nil around the cement walk in the playground and marie got a ride in the morning of the day i saw them they wore blue woollen outfits with pink scarfs and black cloth goloshes but in the afternoon they had no scarfs and wore white rub bers instead of the goloshes it was cold but they were well bundlcd up perhaps that is why they dont cry when they fall the guards told me that they sometimes fall three or four feet from their climbing ladders and just get up and brush themselves off the babies seem to like to keep themselves very clean once when annette fell down on her hands and got snow on her white mittens she ran over to the nurse and showed her that she was brushing them off carefully it is hard to say that one of them is nicer than the rest because they are so much alike hardly anyone can tell them apart but i liked cecile best perhaps that was be cause she laughed so much all of them laugh a lot and seem to be very happy they laugh
