`` You might make some queer mistake and Aunt Eliza would tell it all over the country . She 's a fearful old gossip . I 'll make the rusks myself . She hates cats , so we must n't let Paddy be seen . And she 's a Methodist , so mind nobody says anything against Methodists to her . '' `` Who 's going to say anything , anyhow ? '' asked Peter belligerently . `` I wonder if I might ask her for her name for my quilt square ? '' speculated Cecily . `` I believe I will . She looks so much friendlier than I expected . Of course she 'll choose the five-cent section . She 's an estimable old lady , but very economical . '' `` Why do n't you say she 's so mean she 'd skin a flea for its hide and tallow ? '' said Dan . `` That 's the plain truth . '' `` Well , I 'm going to see about getting tea , '' said Felicity , `` so the rest of you will have to entertain her . You better go in and show her the photographs in the album . Dan , you do it . '' `` Thank you , that 's a girl 's job , '' said Dan .
`` I 'd look nice sitting up to Aunt XXXXX and yelling out that this was Uncle Jim and ` tother Cousin Sarah 's twins , would n't I ?
