But it appeared that Gwen was staring into the fire with a bright idea in her mind. She was thinking of toast. She considers she is specially good at making toast, and was not backward in boasting about her ability. “My grandmother showed me just how it should be done,” she said. “Anyone can hold a piece of bread' in front of the fire, but that doesn’t make what I call toast.” “Really,” said Richard. “I should like to see some of your toast.” “You shall,” said Gwen,
So Gwen set about proving that she could make toast better than anyone else. If you look at Richard and Ted, you will see that they suddenly hit upon some scheme which would not be to her advantage, for they had their heads close together, and were highly amused. Meanwhile, Gwen was busy making the toast as toast, according to her, should be. Seeing how she bent away from the fire, it must have been pretty hot work.
