I cannot take credit to myself, Miss Pinch, for any such thing. All that I know, or, so far as I can judge, am likely to know, I have told you.

It is very ungenerous in you to be so suspicious of me when I repose implicit faith in you.
We are all very much delighted with the urbanity of their manners, and the ease with which they adapt themselves to the forms and ceremonies of ordinary life. Immediately on their arrival they sent for the head waiter, and privately requested him to purchase a live dog,—as cheap a one as he could meet with,—and to send him up after dinner, with a pie-board, a knife and fork, and a clean plate.
Now, there was this special feature in the Captain's courtships, that he always asked if the young lady could make pie-crust; and if she couldn't by nature or education, she was taught. Well. When the bride saw Captain Murderer produce the golden rolling-pin and silver pie-board, she remembered this, and turned up her laced-silk sleeves to make a pie.
Put it on a pie-board and work as you would bread dough, with the palm of your hand, until it looks smooth enough to roll. Do not work over five minutes.

"Oh, what next?" asked Sally, all impatience to begin. "Shut the lower draught of the stove, so that the oven may heat. Then wash your hands and get out the flour, sugar, salt, butter, and cinnamon. See if the pie-board is clean, and pare your apple ready to put in." Daisy got things together with as little noise and spilling as could be expected, from so young a cook.
"You haven't got to eat sorrel pies, have you?" Rose asked, in a bewildered way. "I don't s'pose they'll be any worse than some other things we eat," Sarah answered, scraping the pie-board again. "I don't see how you can." "I guess they won't hurt us any," Sarah said, shortly, and Rose looked abashed. "Well, I must be going," said she. As she went out, she looked hesitatingly at Charlotte.
