The two boys took off their coats, rolled up their sleeves. Denis hauled down a big sauce-pan from a shelf.
"Dirty boy!" cried Nell, through the door. "Things are cooked in that!"
Ted proudly brought forward a bowl for mixing the ingredients of cakes and puddings.
"It's for cakes! Put it away!"
They found the right bowl at last.
Nell's dimples deepened.
Denis took the pan to the sink, stopped short, and looked at Ted.
"No hot water!" they heard him say. "Tap's gone wrong!"
"Won't cold do?" queried Ted, innocently.
