You haven't had any supper, have you, child ?" Maria shook her head.

"I don't want any, thank you, papa," said she.
"Is there any cold meat, Josephine, do you know ?" Josephine said there was some cold roast beef.
"Well, bring Miss Maria a plate, with a slice of bread-and-butter, and some beef." "Have you had any supper yourself, dear ?" Ida asked.
"I declare I don't know, dear," replied Harry, who looked unutterably worn and tired.

"No, I think not.

I don't know when I could have got it.

No, I know I have not." "Josephine," said Ida, "tell Annie to broil a piece of beefsteak for Mr.Edgham, and make a cup of tea." "Thank you, dear," poor Harry said, gratefully.
