Mary took Lily in to her mother, and told her that she kept Lily to talk to her, and Lily’s mother said,

“I am glad to see my little daughter, for her supper of nice bread and milk is all ready for her.”

Lily’s mother asked Mary and Harry to stay and eat supper; but Mary said they had not leave to stay, and Harry’s father and mother would not know where they were, if they stayed. So she thanked Lily’s mother for her invitation, and then she and Harry kissed Lily, and bade her good-night. And Mary and Harry went home.
