“No doubt you wondered why we invited you here,” Iris said after a time, addressing Doris.
“Well, yes, I did,” she admitted.
“It’s a long story. Azalea and I—”
Her voice trailed off as Cora Sully appeared in the doorway.
“Supper is served,” she announced.
Iris arose to lead the way to the dining room.
“The story must wait,” she said with a smile. “I know you girls are far more interested in food just now.”
“I am a bit hungry,” acknowledged Doris with a pleasant smile, as she and Kitty followed the twins into the next room where Cora was putting the finishing touches to the table.
Kitty kept close to her chum. Doris caught her eye. In a whisper she heard Kitty ask her about the dog outside, as she motioned toward the food—Kitty wanted Wags to be remembered.
“Wait!” signalled Doris, as the group took seats about the table.
