One cousin, Emily, embodies tidiness and good behavior, while the other, Milly, returns from living in India lacking manners and neatness. The narrative highlights Milly's transformation as she learns to embrace order and politeness with the help of Emily and their Aunt Priscilla, emphasizing kindness, patience, and good conduct. The transformation of Milly demonstrates that real cleanliness and order come from within, which is reinforced by being kind to others with love.
