`` And I 'll help you , '' said Kate . `` Well , I suppose I 'll have to try you , '' said Aunt Susanna with the air of a woman determined to make the best of a bad business . `` Here is the key of the kitchen door . You 'll find everything in the pantry , turkey and all . The mince pies are all ready made so you 'll only have to warm them up . I want dinner sharp at twelve for the train is due at 11:50 . Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert are very particular and I do hope you will have things right . Oh , if I could only be home myself ! Why will people get sick at such inconvenient times ? '' `` Do n't worry , Aunt Susanna , '' I said comfortingly . `` Kate and I will have your Thanksgiving dinner ready for you in tiptop style . '' `` Well I 'm sure I hope so . Do n't get to mooning over a story , Agnes . I 'll lock the library up and fortunately there are no fiddles at the Pinery . Above all , do n't let any of the McGinnises in . They 'll be sure to be prowling around when I 'm not home . Do n't give that dog of theirs any scraps either . That is Miranda Mary 's one fault . She will feed that dog in spite of all I can do and I ca n't walk out of my own back door without falling over him . '' We promise to eschew the McGinnises and all their works , including the dog , and when Aunt Susanna had gone we looked at each other with mingled hope and fear .
`` Girls , this is the chance XXXXX your lives , '' said Laura .
