2-14 Mercy Watson Gose For A Ride

Chapter 14 Laws have been broken, " said Officer Tomilello. “ Tickets must be written. ” “ Officer, do you like toast?” Mrs. Watson asked. “ Toast?” said Officer Tomilello. “ DoI like toast? Why, yes I do. I do like toast. ”

" Why don't you come inside and have some?" asked Mrs. Watson. " Why don't I come inside and have some toast?" asked Officer Tomilello.

" Hmm, " said Officer Tomilello, “ I can't think of a reason not to. " " Lovely! " said Mrs. Watson. She clapped her hands together. “ Right this way. " " What nonsense, " grumbled Eugenia Lincoln. " Toast is not the answer. " No, Sister, " said Baby Lincoln. " But it does smell heavenly. " She took hold of Eugenia's hand. " Well, " said Eugenia, " it has been expertby buttered. "

And so, that Saturday, Officer Tomilello and Eugenia Lincoln and Baby Lincoln and Mr. and Mrs. Watson and Mercy Watson all sat around the table together and ate hot buttered toast. Did Mercy Watson have extra helpings? She did. And so did Officer Tomilello.
