As such, she was home during the days, and at first glance, Billy was smitten and became profoundly infatuated with her. Edith was aware of Billy’s puppy love, and while she did nothing to encourage it, neither did she find it offensive. There came a day when Billy was slow with chores, and when his pals called for him to join them at the lake, he asked them to go ahead and he’d be along soon. Billy had noticed the variety of hairbrushes which Aunt Blanche prominently displayed throughout the house, and he wasn’t willing to test his aunt by failing to complete his chores before play. Such was her reputation based upon factual, first person reports from several of his new friends. “You mean your aunt hasn’t spanked you yet!”, said Tommy Hopkins. “Boy are you lucky. She paddled me after school a month ago, and I cried all the way home!”
