"WHY, hello, Ruth!" cried Bettina at the door one afternoon. "I haven't seen you for weeks, it seems to me! What have you been doing? Come in and give an account of yourself!"

"Thank you, they're lovely! I need them tonight for my table, too. Will you come into the kitchen with me while I put these in water?"
"M-m," said Ruth. "Something smells good! In the oven?"
"Yes, pork chops, baked apples and escalloped potatoes. Peek in and see 'em."
