There were pretty little cakes with pink and white frosting, and oranges, and nuts, and raisins, and apples, and candy.
Boy Blue's father had heard about the party and had sent the apples from the farm.
Boy Blue's mother had sent some candy made of maple sugar and nuts.
Oh, it was so good!
When each one had eaten some of the cakes, and some of the nuts, and some of the candy, Mrs. Horne went out into the kitchen.
Jack began to laugh and his eyes looked very big and wise.
"The surprise is coming!" cried Boy Blue. "The surprise is coming!"
And sure enough! In came Mrs. Horne, carrying a huge pie in her hands.
"This is Jack Horner's pie," she said. "I think it is full of plums."
