'' `` I 'm going to be very polite to her , '' said Felicity . `` She 's rich . But how are we to entertain her , that 's the question . '' `` What does the Family Guide say about entertaining your rich , deaf old aunt ? '' queried Dan ironically . `` The Family Guide says we should be polite to EVERYBODY , '' said Cecily , with a reproachful look at Dan . `` The worst of it is , '' said Felicity , looking worried , `` that there is n't a bit of old bread in the house and she ca n't eat new , I 've heard father say . It gives her indigestion . What will we do ? '' `` Make a pan of rusks and apologize for having no old bread , '' suggested the Story Girl , probably by way of teasing Felicity .

But you run over home for a loaf of stale bread , Sara , and it 's a good idea about the rusks . I 'll make a panful . '' `` Let me make them , '' said the Story Girl , eagerly . `` I can make real good rusks now . '' `` No , it would n't do to trust you , '' said Felicity mercilessly .
`` You might make some queer mistake and Aunt XXXXX would tell it all over the country .
