“Let me see if I can remember what you told us you ordered,” Stewart Blaine said. “Pancakes and ham, wasn’t it?”

Eleanor Bold added, “And a glass of milk.”

My aunt Olivia smiled in a way that managed to be both charming and superior. “I really don’t think this is so difficult, Mr. Smart. It was the ham, of course.”

“I would have said the milk,” Mr. Macafee put in. “It disagrees with a great many people, you know.”

Stewart Blaine shook his head. “The pancakes.”

Blaine still disagreed. “Julius is expecting to surprise us, Vi; and therefore I’m sure we’ll find that the dish not eaten was the principal one of the meal.”

“Besides,” Eleanor Bold put in, “he said this drugstore man was finished before he had hardly begun. I’m with Stewart. The pancakes.”
