"But if it doesn't—why, Aunt Lucy, stay here all night! We'd love to have you! The guest room is always ready. I know you'll be comfortable, and they can manage without you at home for once, I'm sure."
"Of course they'll be all right, and it would be quite exciting to be 'company' for a change. If only Uncle John thinks he can do it!"
"It looks as if there'll be nothing else to do," said Uncle John, when he and Bob returned. "Not but what I'd enjoy it—but I haven't been away from home a night for—how long is it, Lucy?"
"Seven years last May, John. All the more reason why this'll do you good."
"Oh, I'm so glad you'll really stay!" said Bettina. "Now tell me what you like for breakfast!"
"Anything you have except those new fashioned breakfast foods," Uncle John replied. "I might feed 'em to my stock, now, but not to a human being. But don't you worry about me, Betty! Because I don't worry about the breakfast proposition. Bob here is a pretty good advertisement of the kind of cooking you can do!"
The lunch that night consisted of:
Jellied Beef Potato Chips
Radishes
Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Iced Tea Fresh Pears
BETTINA'S RECIPES
