My brother, Peter, is the eldest. He's the most headstrong of us all. He's the leader, of course. He often rejects the notion that we've refuse to follow his directions. [ He puts up one finger, then starts counting down. ] My sister Susan is next — a real lady if I have ever met one, but she backs down from no argument no matter how gentle she seems. I'm the third, then our youngest sibling is dear Lucy.
Now, Lucy — you cannot change her mind once she's made a decision. You may only hope that she doesn't get herself into trouble.
