"So far as I'm concerned I'm sure we couldn't fry them."
"I'm afraid I might make rather a mess of it. Then we'll say boiled eggs. What else--bacon?"
"I imagine that there may be bacon."
"Then we'll say eggs and bacon; that'll be lovely. Don't you like bacon?"
"I don't object to it--occasionally--if it's properly cooked."
"How do you like it cooked?"
"I haven't a notion. I've never even seen anyone cook bacon."
"I don't think I have either. But we'll see what we can do. And cocoa?"
"No cocoa. I doubt if there's any in the place. And we won't say coffee. I don't believe there are more than half a dozen people in the world who can make good coffee. And I feel convinced that I'm not one of them."
"I don't care for coffee. We'll say tea--and toast."
