Martha Brewster:  Let me see , now . This is eleven , is n't it , Abby ?
Abby Brewster: Oh , no , dear . This makes twelve .
Martha Brewster: Abby , dear . I think you 're wrong . This one is only eleven .
Abby Brewster: No , dear , because I remember when Mr. Hoskins first came in , it occurred to me that he 'd make just an even dozen .
Martha Brewster: But , Abby , dear . I really do n't think you should count the first one .
Abby Brewster: Oh , I was counting the first _ one _ , and that makes it twelve .
Martha Brewster: It does ? Well , she 's probably right . Abby usually is . I get them mixed up sometimes .
Mortimer Brewster: Makes it twelve ? Twelve .
