"He'll be feeding his eyes on Molly, so he'll not even know he's eating my Kensington almond pudding with Thomas's old port in it," teased Aunt Bettie with a laugh as I went across the street with them. Patricia and Elinor puckered their brows over it, but Miss Jinny, craning her head over their shoulders, gave a snort. Elinor merely stirred and mumbled something indistinct, much to the contrite Patricia's relief. "Don't say another word till I get back," she said, authoritatively, and was gone before any questions could be formed..
