"Esther, is it breakfast?" asked Norton, as their little hostess came to them.
"It is what you like, Mr. Laval," said the little lady; whose pink bows were not more in style than her manners.
"Norton is hungry, Esther," David remarked.
"I hope you are, too."
"What are you going to give us, Esther?" said Judy eagerly. "We are all like bears. Strawberries?"
"We must wait for another carriage. The Grandsons are coming."
"I wouldn't wait," said Judy. "What's the use? Ten o' clock is late enough for breakfast."
"But we shall not have the collation till three."
"What have you got for breakfast?"
"Coffee."
