There seems to be a starched and stilted feeling in the air. Hilda watches the two sisters quarrel again. She shouts, "stop quarreling! You two even quarrel in my presence, don't you take me seriously?”
"It's not that I want to quarrel with her, I was just giving her advice out of kindness, but she doesn't appreciate it. At least I has gone through it, believe it or not.”
The two sisters have different views. Naturally, they can't have a peaceful talk.
Sheila ignores her and picks up her bag. "Mom, I'm going back to school. I don't want to argue with fools.”
Even the fools can figure out her meaning. Ethel yells at her back. "Sheila, come back here! How dare you insult me?”
“Ethel! Shut up!” Between the two daughters, Hilda choose to be on the side of the younger daughter.
"Mom, see how Sheila being spoiled by you!”
"You are wrong first, don't blame Sheila for saying that. It's you got your nose done and fought with others!”
"Mom, how many times have you said that? I think Sheila is a little different recently.”
"Sheila is so well-behaved. She will never do stupid things as you did!” Hilda is successfully distracted by her.
