"Now for the raisins," she said.
"I didn't know sponge cake ever had raisins in it," said Marjorie.
"It doesn't, usually," said Kitty, "but I thought it would add an extra touch."
She stirred them in, and then they poured the batter into a cake tin.
"It does look lovely," said Midget, tasting it with a spoon. "It tastes pretty good, but not as good as it looks. I guess it'll be lovely when it's baked. Open the oven, King."
King threw open the oven door with a flourish, and the girls pushed the big pan inside.
"Shut it quick!" warned Kitty. "The cake falls unless you do! It must bake three-quarters of an hour."
And then they all waited patiently for the time to take it out.
