`` But I 'm afraid she COULD . '' `` I believe you ! Does she always tell the truth ? '' `` I think she does , except when she 's afraid of a whipping . '' `` And yet you want me to take her ! '' `` SOME ONE has to take her , '' sobbed Una . `` SOME ONE has to look after her , Mrs. Elliott . '' `` That 's true . Perhaps it IS my duty to do it , '' said Miss Cornelia with a sigh . `` Well , I 'll have to talk it over with Mr. Elliott . So do n't say anything about it just yet . Take another doughnut , dearie . '' Una took it and ate it with a better appetite . `` I 'm very fond of doughnuts , '' she confessed `` Aunt Martha never makes any . But Miss Susan at Ingleside does , and sometimes she lets us have a plateful in Rainbow Valley . Do you know what I do when I 'm hungry for doughnuts and ca n't get any , Mrs. Elliott ? '' `` No , dearie . What ? '' `` I get out mother 's old cook book and read the doughnut recipe -- and the other recipes . They sound SO nice .
I always do that when I 'm hungry -- especially after we 've had ditto XXXXX dinner .
