"May we take our supper out of doors, Betty?" said Emily.
"If you please," replied Betty; and she put the turnovers, as she called the puffs, into a little basket, with two large slices of bread and two cans of milk, and put the basket into Emily's hands.
"You have made beautiful ears and eyes to the turnovers, Betty," said Henry; "I always call them pigs when they are made in that way."
"And they taste much better, don't they, Master Henry?" asked Betty.
"To be sure they do," answered Henry, and away he walked after his sister.
So Emily and Henry gave their supper to the little children; and they were very much pleased with them, because, when they had eaten part of the bread and drunk the milk, they asked leave to take what was left home to their grandmother.
"Emily and Henry gave their supper to the little children."—[Page 215].
Emily fetched them a piece of paper to wrap the puffs in, and then she and Henry watched them back into the lane, and afterwards walked quietly home, to be ready when their parents and Lucy should come back.
