Gertrude Chandler Warner Quote

She smiled politely at the woman, but the woman did not smile. She looked at Henry as he put his hand in his pocket for the money. She looked cross, but she sold him the bread. Jessie was looking around, too, and she saw a long red bench under each window of the bakery. The benches had flat red pillows on them. Will you let us stay here for the night? Jessie asked. We could sleep on those benches, and tomorrow we would help you wash the dishes and do things for you. Now the woman liked this. She did not like to wash dishes very well. She would like to have a big boy to help her with her
