2-10 Mercy Watson Gose For A Ride

Chapter 10 Back on Deckawoo Drive, Mrs. Watson invited Eugenia inside. " There's no point in worrying alone, " Mrs. Watson said. " Come in and help me fix a snack for my darlings. " Mrs. Watson brought Eugenia into the kitchen.

" Will you help me butter some toast?" asked Mrs. Watson. " Toast?" grumbled Eugenia. " Who cares about toast?" " Don't worry, " said Mrs. Watson. She patted Eugenia on the back. " If Baby is with Mr. Watson, then she is just fine. Mr. Watson is an excellent driver. " " He is a menace, " said Eugenia. " Pardon?" said Mrs. Watson. " Nothing, " said Eugenia. She picked up a piece of toast.

She applied the tiniest amount of butter. " Oh, heavens, " said Mrs. Watson. " You have to put on more than that. Mercy likes a great deal of butter on her toast. "

" Who cares how pigs like their toast?" Eugenia said. " There, there, " said Mrs. Watson. " I know that you are worried. But everything will work out. Baby will come home. In the meantime, why don't we iust concentrate on our buttering?" " Toast is not the answer, " grumbled Eugenia. But she buttered another piece anyway.
