A little girl from the East Side was invited to a garden party given by a very aristocratic（贵族的） lady to a group of little East-Siders.The little girl, as she drank her tea and ate her plum-cake on a velvet（天鹅绒的） lawn under a white-blooming cherry tree, said to her hostess:Does your husband drink?Why-er-no, not to excess, was the astonished reply.How much does he make?He doesn't work, said the lady. He is a capitalist.You keep out of debt, I hope?Of course, child. What on earth do you mean by all these impudent（无耻的） questions?Impudent? said the little girl. Why, Ma'am, Mother told me to be sure and behave like a lady, and when ladies call at our rooms they always question Mother like that.
