As soon as he knew what I was about , he said he wanted to help , and insisted on buying the biggest toy stove we could find . I scolded , but he only laughed , and teased me about my cooking when we were young , and said I must teach Bess as well as you , and went on buying all sorts of nice little things for my ` cooking class ' as he called it . '' `` I 'm so glad you met him ! '' said Daisy , as Mrs. Jo stopped to laugh at the memory of the funny time she had with Uncle Teddy . `` You must study hard and learn to make all kinds of things , for he says he shall come out to tea very often , and expects something uncommonly nice . '' `` It 's the sweetest , dearest kitchen in the world , and I 'd rather study with it than do anything else . Ca n't I learn pies , and cake , and macaroni , and everything ? '' cried Daisy , dancing round the room with a new saucepan in one hand and the tiny poker in the other . `` All in good time . This is to be a useful play , I am to help you , and you are to be my cook , so I shall tell you what to do , and show you how . Then we shall have things fit to eat , and you will be really learning how to cook on a small scale . I 'll call you Sally , and say you are a new girl just come , '' added Mrs. Jo , settling down to work , while Teddy sat on the floor sucking his thumb , and staring at the stove as if it was a live thing , whose appearance deeply interested him . `` That will be so lovely ! What shall I do first ? '' asked Sally , with such a happy face and willing air that Aunt Jo wished all new cooks were half as pretty and pleasant . `` First of all , put on this clean cap and apron . I am rather old-fashioned , and I like my cook to be very tidy . '' Sally tucked her curly hair into the round cap , and put on the apron without a murmur , though usually she rebelled against bibs . `` Now , you can put things in order , and wash up the new china . The old set needs washing also , for my last girl was apt to leave it in a sad state after a party . ''
Aunt XXXXX spoke quite soberly , but Sally laughed , for she knew who the untidy girl was who had left the cups sticky .
