years to grow and mine've only had seven. 'Sides, I DID ask, but you
and Anne was so busy talking you didn't pay any 'tention. 'Sides, Paul's
never been here to any meal escept tea, and it's easier to be p'lite
at tea than at breakfast. You ain't half as hungry. It's an awful long
while between supper and breakfast. Now, Anne, that spoonful ain't any
bigger than it was last year and I'M ever so much bigger."
