Excerpt from The Boy With an Idea

I am afraid John's mother spoiled him, as mothers do spoil their boys at times, especially when they've only one, and he is bright and clever, and nice-looking, and very like his father, dead and gone years past; and John was all this, so perhaps it is not much to be wondered at if Mrs. Ashdell let him have his own way, and follow out his own ideas, a great deal more than was desirable either for her self or for him. She was not the only one who Spoiled him though; his grandmother was always ready to help when ever she had an opportunity; and, though Master John's whims had given them both so much trouble, he had such a wonderful flow of words, such astonishing boldness of conception, and such promptitude in carrying out his schemes, that I really think they both believed him to be the cleverest boy in the world.
