`` 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 Jo spoke quite soberly , but Sally laughed , for she knew who the untidy girl was who had left the cups sticky . Then she turned up her cuffs , and with a sigh of satisfaction began to stir about her kitchen , having little raptures now and then over the `` sweet rolling pin , '' the `` darling dish-tub , '' or the `` cunning pepper-pot . '' `` Now , Sally , take your basket and go to market ; here is the list of things I want for dinner , '' said Mrs. Jo , giving her a bit of paper when the dishes were all in order . `` Where is the market ? '' asked Daisy , thinking that the new play got more and more interesting every minute . `` Asia is the market . '' Away went Sally , causing another stir in the schoolroom as she passed the door in her new costume , and whispered to Demi , with a face full of delight , `` It 's a perfectly splendid play ! '' Old Asia enjoyed the joke as much as Daisy , and laughed jollily as the little girl came flying into the room with her cap all on one side , the lids of her basket rattling like castanets and looking like a very crazy little cook .
`` Mrs. Aunt Jo wants these things , and I must have them right away , '' said XXXXX , importantly .
