"Would you have the 'tay' get cold while you are making up your mind? I at least must go.",Having thus disposed of Jonah to her own evident satisfaction, and having as she considered, given much valuable instruction, Mrs. Wopp proceeded to question the children.，"Well, you go along to the milkhouse an' lick the cream off a pan of milk.

"Now, sir, don't you be affeard to holler out when you want more," said the hospitable housewife.,“Wisht I hed a chance to holler into one of them brass dinner-horns, too,” he grumbled.,Night is creeping up over the land.
