He gets spanked. Early sees daddy working on a new bench and without any intention of doing any harm, she tries to assist by hammering a few nails into one of the sections. Matty wants to be a father also and he sees that the nails protrude inside of the board, so he takes a plane and tries to level them off. When he is discovered, they both get a spanking. After a few more spankings Early gets an inspiration and places into the seat of Matty's trousers a little board and Matty does likewise for Early. They then tie ribbons on Polly, which belongs to a maiden aunt. Surprise and mortification when aunty does not spank them where the boards have been put, but chastises the hand instead.
