THE PIE AND THE PATTY-PAN
Duchess ran home feeling uncommonly silly!
When Ribby came out for a pailful of water to wash up the tea-things, she found a pink and white pie-dish lying smashed in the middle of the yard. The patty-pan was under the pump, where Dr. Maggotty had considerately left it.
Ribby stared with amazement—"Did you ever see the like! so there really was a patty-pan? . . . . But my patty-pans are all in the kitchen cupboard. Well I never did! . . . . Next time I want to give a party—I will invite Cousin Tabitha Twitchit!"
