Mary Ann and her husband, Bob, take their three daughters to the Brobergs’ house, and the girls make acquaintance with the Berchtolds’ three boys, who are of the same age as them. Robert, who runs a furniture store in the town, offers to help the Brobergs by taking their daughters to school along with his own sons, and the bond between them keeps growing. The three Broberg girls, Jan, Karen, and Susan, also grow very fond of Robert, whom they affectionately call “uncle B” or “B,” and Robert too enjoys this affection.
