"Who forgot the bread ?" "Who forgot the tea ?" cried Nellie, immediately behind him, following up her brother's attack and making Sarah jump afresh.

"Who forgot the tea ?" "And who forgot her head ?" said the Captain from the rear, pressing the charge home; whereupon, they all, Mrs Gilmour included, halted on the doorstep and roared with laughter.

"Aye, who forgot her head ?" This was too much for the girl.
"Oh my, me!" she exclaimed, staring at them in hopeless stupefaction.
"Oh my, me!" "Dear me!" observed Mrs Gilmour, her laugh subsiding into a broad smile.

"Why, you are quite a poet, Sarah." "Me, mum ?" ejaculated the other, more astonished than ever.

"Whatever have I gone and done now ?" "Yes," continued her mistress, "you've just supplied `the missing link' in our rhyme; and people who make poetry, of course, are poets." "Oh, auntie, I see, I see!" called out Nellie excitedly, in great glee.
"I see it--don't you, Bob ?" "No, what is it ?" asked that young gentleman.
