Rosie blames it on not knowing when it's best to say no, though she always had thought herself the sensible sort. Marigold, grinning quite shyly, blames it on Pervinca being too good at getting what she wants. Pervinca, when she has something to say on the matter, isn't as full of herself as one might think – perhaps she is good at getting what she wants (something she has made a sport of, when it comes to competing with her younger brother), but it's just as nice knowing when there's no place for things like saying no.

They are all right.
