Such a scramble! The dolls piled over one another in their desire to be the first at the goodies. They swarmed upon the pantry shelves and in their eagerness spilled a pitcher of cream which ran all over the French dolly's dress. The Indian doll found some corn bread and dipping it in the molasses he sat down for a good feast.
"So," Joe said to them both, "this is where you're going to make a stand gallery and print shop?" "And classes," Rob said. His smile broadened as he considered Rhiannon. "Help yourselves to wine and goodies." "Hi, Wendell," Mo said. They stepped away from the door. Joe recognized the gallery owner from Mo's show the previous year. People began arriving in numbers.
'Twon't take me a jerk of a lamb's tail to write and tell him how things stand at Sobrante, and whose stockings'd better have switches 'stead of goodies in 'em. Hear me? Where's your clothes?"

Indeed there were all kinds of goodies in those boxes chicken and ham sandwiches, eggs, potato salad, white cake and black, a vacuum bottle of cold milk for Sunny and one of hot coffee for the others. "There's a spider!" shouted Sunny Boy as they sat down to eat. "Look, Grandpa, he going right into the cake."
