They each brought Jack a present.
Mistress Mary brought him some roses.
"They grew on the rose-bush you gave me," she said.
At first the children played games.
They played "blind man's buff," and "hide the thimble," and "button, button, who has the button."
At four o'clock Jack's mother came into the room.
"I think you must all be hungry by this time," she said.
"Will you come and see what I have for you?"
So the children followed Mrs. Horne through the long hall into the dining-room.
Oh, there were such good things for hungry children!
