"My goodness, I don't know," Margy cried a little wildly. "I wasn't even thinking."
"Margy always shies off as though a riddle was going to bite her," said Fred. "I should say a bakery was like the ocean when it has scales."
"You mean the ocean is like a bakery," Ward corrected. "But that isn't right, Fred."
Jess ventured the answer, "when it is crowded," and in response to the laughter explained that the ocean was crowded "in spots."
"I've seen the excursion crowds," she said.
"When it's full of rolls?" Polly hazarded slowly, when it came her turn.
"You've got it!" exclaimed Ward, in delight. "'When it's full of fresh rolls,' is right, but rolls is the answer. Good for you, Polly!"
"How'd you do it, Polly?" asked Margy.
"I saw the breakers rolling in and that made me think of it," Polly said modestly.
