There were still places to visit, although John never wanted to leave the farm. There were still adventures to have, although John did not believe that life was meant to be lived in an exciting manner. Seeing her change in demeanour, her father squeezed her arm and whispered to her out of the side of his smiling mouth: "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...wake up from your daydream and smile...many girls would love to become a member of the Brady Bunch!"
