"We'll both be used!" exclaimed the Cake Pans, joyously. "I told you so! I told you!" they cried at each other as though having an argument.
"Come," said Mary Frances, "less talking. We must get to work."
"Look at the oven first," said the Cake Pans, as Mary Frances started to break the eggs.
"Is it right?" asked the little girl, lifting them up to see.
"Yes," they said, "it will be just right when we are ready."
"All the ma-ter-i-als you'll need ready?" asked Round Cake Tin after a minute.
"Yes," looking over the table, "I see—everything. Good!"
"I brought the butter into the warm room an hour ago," said Mary Frances, "so that it would be softened by the time I needed it. I'll make the sponge cake first, as the oven will be cooler then."
