"Well, we'll pitch you out," said Jasper, "neck and heels, if you don't take care. Well, but really this is awful work." He whirled over the notice again, and glared at it savagely.
"Why don't we just say, 'A Cooking Club is to be formed'?" proposed Polly, "and——"
"Oh, that will be elegant," interrupted Alexia, clapping her hands. "Oh,
Polly, you write it."
"Oh, I couldn't," said Polly, drawing back.
"Yes, Polly, do," begged Jasper.
"Oh, no, you write it," said Polly.
"Well, then, you tell me what to say," said Jasper, laughing.
"She did," said Alexia impatiently. "A Cooking Club is to be formed'—didn't you hear her?"
"I have that," said Jasper, scribbling away on a fresh piece of paper. "Now what next?"
"Go on, Polly," said Alexia.
