Gertie covered her eyes and shrieked. Mrs. Shiner clasped her hands in consternation. As for Charlotte, all she could say was, “Oh, oh! oh!”

Gertie dropped to her knees and with two fingers, daintily lifted the edge of the pancake. “It’s still good, Mrs. Shiner,” she said with a woebegone expression. “It’s only been on the floor a little bit.”

Charlotte looked down helplessly. “Aw, don’t be silly.”

But Gertie wouldn’t give up. “Maybe we could wash it off,” she said.

“Don’t feel so bad, darlings,” Mrs. Shiner said consolingly. “I’m sure the pancake would have tasted as good as it looked. I’ll tell you what!” she added, with sudden inspiration. “Why don’t we all go out for an ice-cream soda?”

At once the two gloomy cooks brightened. The unfortunate pancake was put in the garbage pail. Off came the aprons, and soon the girls were stepping joyfully alongside Mrs. Shiner on their way to the ice-cream parlor.

“I like tutti-frutti ice cream in my chocolate soda,” Gertie told Mrs. Shiner happily.
