Ellen Raskin Quote
Read it out loud, dear, Grace ordered, as Angela opened the card tied to the yellow-ribboned box. To the bride-to-be in the kitchen stuck, An asparagus cooker and lots of luck. from Cookie Barfspringer Thank you, Angela said, wondering which one was the Barfspringer. The next gift was an egg poacher. The box in pink ribbons contained another asparagus cooker. I sure hope Doctor Deere likes asparagus, someone remarked.
