"Oh do, mother, do, and have it up here, and Miss Patch have one, too, and Jessie, and me." "Well, I declare!" cried Mrs.Lang, quite taken aback.

"What next! I never heard of such a thing! I believe, though, that one would do me good, and I know I'd enjoy it ever so much.

Miss Patch would, too, I believe!" Miss Patch smiled.

"I'd enjoy one," she laughed, "if I had to get up in the middle of the night for it." Without waiting for another word Jessie flew off to the kitchen.
This was her chance she felt to do things nicely, so, while the kettle came to the boil, she polished the shabby tray and the tea-cups and spoons.
