morning about ten o'clock
Give me a girl like Nance Slater . She is round and plump , do n't care much for books or papers , but is bright and laughing all the day . She is the girl to have lots of fun with , and when it comes to making a man a good wife , why , she is the best cook in Orangeville . I was over to Slater 's on an errand the other morning about ten o'clock , and Nance was looking as pretty as a picture ; her cheeks had the blush of the peach on them ; her eyes were sparkling bright , her lips red , and when she laughed , her teeth looked like the best and whitest ivory you ever saw . She had on such a pretty , light , calico wrapper , and a white apron with a bib , and was busy taking out of the oven some mince pies and just putting in some apple pies . She had a kettle of doughnuts a frying , and a whole lot of cookie paste ready to cut out and bake . She said : ` James , you must sample my doughnuts .
