“You dined in the school-room on Friday. Were the baby-house doors open then!”
“I—I’m sure I didn’t notice.”
“You didn’t open them to take anything out?”
“What should I want with the things in the baby-house?”
“Did you, or did you not!”
“I—I didn’t—at least—”
“In one word, did you open them? yes or no.”
“No.”
“What time did you go out after eating your dinner?”
“Bother! how is one to remember! It’s all nonsense making such a fuss. The children fancied they put in ever so much more than they did, and very likely took out some.”
