“I knew you would come here, and I am going to enlist under your banner, so you must tell me what to buy and how to cook it.”
“Oh dear me!” cried Molly in consternation.

“If that is really so I shall have something to suggest in colder weather. You see I know nothing of your tastes.”
“I believe we like a good many things we don’t have, but anything outside of steak and chops will be a welcome change.”
