“There are four crackers in that box, let’s eat them,” said Pee-wee.
“I guess they’re having roast beef,” said Howard; “they have it on Wednesdays.”
“I saw Chocolate Drop killing some chickens,” said Willie. “I like the part with the wishbone best.”
“I like roast beef because it’s got all brown gravy over it,” Howard observed; “I like dumplings, too.”
“Do you like apple dumplings?” Willie asked.
“Yes, but I like cottage pudding better. I like corn fritters, too.”
“Will you shut up!” screamed Pee-wee.
“Can’t we even talk about it?”
“No, you can’t talk about it,” Pee-wee said, pouring the last remaining crumbs out of a biscuit box into his hand and lapping them up with his tongue.
“I guess they’re just about starting with dessert now; hey?” said Willie.
