"Yes, breakfast to-day must be double. You see, Lena, I have a friend."
"Yes, I see. I am glad she is better."
"Thank you," said Cora, but, of course, she had no way of knowing how this girl had tried to befriend her in the gypsy wagon.
"We have some splendid berries. I picked them before the sun touched them," said Lena. "And fresh milk; also toast, and what else?"
"We will leave it to you, Lena. I know Sam went to market."
"Yes, and will the young lady like some of your robes? I thought that dress might not suit for daylight."
Cora was still wearing her handsome yellow gown that she had worn at the Tip-Top ball. It did look strange in the bright, early morning sunshine.
"Would you?" asked Helka of Cora. "I have a good bathroom, and there is plenty of water." She smiled and showed that wonderful set of teeth. Cora thought she had never before seen such human pearls.
"It is very kind of you," and Cora sighed. "If I must stay I suppose I may as well be practical about it."
"Oh, yes," Lena ventured. "They all like you, and it will be so much better not to give any trouble."
