On Sunday, Ms. Schwab drives the guest to the train station.
“As she’s getting out she says to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I didn’t have time to get to the cash machine, so I went to your purse and took some cash,’ ” Ms. Schwab says. “It was basically everything I had taken out of the A.T.M. the night before, $100.”

True, you could snatch one of the soggy towels left on the newly finished floors of the guest bedroom, hold it firmly over the guest’s mouth and nose, and bring your misery to an end, but the courts frown on such behavior and you’d have the problem of getting rid of the body.

“The story behind that tweet is that, at my school, there’s a lot of Jewish kids,” said Maude (her father is Jewish, her mother is not). “Last year, I probably went to 40 bar-bat mitzvahs. They started in mid-sixth grade, and they kept going into eighth grade. And I remember, at one of the last ones, I was like, I don’t want to go to this. I’m going to get into a fistfight. I was so sick of them.” When Maude expressed the thought aloud, she said that her father told her, “Tweet that, that’s funny.”
