Once Mattie has gone to work at the Glenmore and left her family alone, they all get very sick and the young neighbor Tommy runs all the way to the hotel to tell her to come home. As she leaves the hotel she finds another neighbor Mr. Denio arriving and he quickly turns around to drive her home as soon as he hears that her family is sick.

Alice's parents tell her who she is permitted to see. They also instruct her how to dress, and of course how not to. It is through experiences such as Alice's younger sister falling off the bed, under her watch, that Alice's parents have a crucial influence on her self-discovery.
