Mrs. Smith kissed Alonzo and he hugged her.

“Yes, of course, if it’s fine tomorrow,” said Mrs. Ramsay.

She liked it how much A. J. Smith and Mrs. Smith liked Jim.

It would have been all right with Mrs. Smith but Liz was afraid.

Liz and Mrs. Smith were cooking for four days for them before they started.

The wagon stopped outside under the big elm and Mrs. Smith and Liz went out.

Then Mrs. Smith went upstairs and pretty soon Smith came out and went upstairs too.

After supper they went into the front room again and Liz cleaned off with Mrs. Smith.

Mrs. Smith, who was a very large clean woman, said Liz Coates was the neatest girl she’d ever seen.

Liz wanted to make something special for Jim to take but she didn’t finally because she was afraid to ask Mrs. Smith for the eggs and flour and afraid if she bought them Mrs. Smith would catch her cooking.
