"Next week, I think. O no; not till the very day, David. Now is there anything else we ought to get here?"
"I don't know!" said David. "I could think of a great many things; but as you say, we must not do too much."
"What did you think of?"
"Nearly everything you see here," said David. "It seems to me they must want everything. A coffee pot, for instance; and lamps, and cooking utensils, and brooms and brushes and tubs and coal scuttles."
"O David, stop! They can make coffee in the tea-pot."
"Bad for the coffee I should say!" David responded, shrugging his shoulders.
"And lamps? They cannot buy oil. I guess they go to bed when it grows dark."
"Do they! Great loss of time, for people who live by their labour."
"And a tea-kettle, and a frying pan, and a water pot, came with the stove, you know."
"What can they cook in a frying pan—besides fish?"
