"Only hers weren't made in a fireless cooker," said Bettina. "Now, Bob, as soon as you have allayed your hunger a little we must put our heads together long enough to get an idea for Christmas cards. If we have something made, it may take several weeks, and you know it is no small task to address several hundred of them. As soon as we have ordered them, we'd better make out our Christmas list. But first, what shall the cards be? Think, Bob!"
"Goodness gracious sakes alive, but thinking is hot work! Well, how's this? Suppose we don't have cards engraved—they're expensive, and besides, 'twould take too long! We'll find some plain white correspondence cards—or perhaps white cards with a red edge—and envelopes to go with them, and in the corner of the card we'll stick a tiny round snapshot of the house. Then we'll write this verse very neatly and sign it 'Bettina and Bob.' Perhaps you can improve on this, however:
Beefsteak Fireless Sweet Potatoes
Creamed Carrots
Pineapple Charlotte Custard Sauce
"Bob, that's the very thing!" cried Bettina.
