"I may have been mistaken," he observed, apologetically. "Mr. Irons was called away in a great hurry, and I did get some of his directions confused.
Why, a-setting in his high chair as good as gold, a precious, watching me doing of the ironing. Get along with you, do my iron's cold again. She went towards the cook, and seemed to poke an invisible fire with an unseen poker the cook seemed to be putting an unseen dish into an invisible oven.
