"What relations have you got?"
Margot giggled. "Everybody asks me that. I haven't any relations except Egbert."
"What? None at all?"
"Isn't it funny not to have any? Papa only had one brother, and he only had Egbert. Papa hated Egbert. And if my relations were going to be like him, I'm frightfully glad they never got born."
