"Biscuits," said Alec.
"Gorgeous!" squealed Cindy.
"Beans," Alec said.
"Marvelous!"
"And bacon," Alec finished.
"Heavenly!" Cindy smacked her lips.
Alec looked at her sharply. "What's the matter with you, sis?"
"Matter!" Cindy said indignantly. "Do you know what we've been living on? Fish! Any more and I'll grow fins!"
"I like fish," Alec said.
"You can have 'em!" Cindy sighed. "I'll trade you my share for your portion of potatoes, biscuits, bacon, and beans! Um-m! I can hardly wait to start cooking! Did Mother send any dishes?"
