"From your actions I should judge you to be about eight years old." "'Tis the griddle-cake doth make children of us all," parodied Graham recklessly, not at all abashed by his friend's criticism. "Come on, Jack. I'm going to set the table, and I shall need your housewifely aid."
He reached for his hat, then hesitated; it was election eve and in two hours he was due to address the congregation of griddle-cake discontents on how to make men vote like ladies. A call boy hurried in by way of a fortunate distraction and handed in a budget of papers. David spread them out before him.
"You carry in the coffee, will you, Ruth?" said Peggy, and improved the opportunity to resume her former position by the griddle. Ruth understood the manoeuvre, and her heart swelled.
