I want to go out to tea with somebody.

Now can you guess ?" "With Aunt Emma ?" "Oh no, Aunt Emma's coming over here all day.

She promised she would." "With Becky and Tiza ?" Milly nodded, and screwed up her little lips tighter than ever.
"But I don't expect Mrs.Backhouse will want the trouble of having you two to tea.
"Oh mother, she won't mind a bit.

I know she won't; because Becky told me one day her mother would like us very much to come some time if you'd let us.

And Nana could come and help Mrs.Backhouse, and we could all wash up the tea-things afterwards, like we did at the picnic." "Then Tiza mustn't sit next me," said Olly, who had been listening in silence to all the arrangements.
