Dinner was almost ready when Pa and Mr. Boast
came back with the bobsled. The enormous rabbit was
browning in the oven. The potatoes were boiling, and the

stove. The house was full of good smells of roasting
meat, hot bread, and coffee.
Laura spread the clean white tablecloth, and in the
center of the table she set the glass sugar bowl, the glass
jug full of cream, and the glass spoon-holder full of
silver spoons. Around the table Carrie laid the knives
and forks, and filled the water glasses while Laura set
all the plates in a pile at Pa'splace. all around the table, she cheerfully put a glass sauce
dish holding half a canned peach in golden syrup. The
table was beautiful.
Before Pa, on the big platter, lay (lie-lay-lain) the
huge roasted rabbit with piles of bread-and-onion
stuffing ([stDfiH] umplutură) steaming ([sti:m] – a aburi)
around it. From a dish on one side stood a mound

stood a bowl of rich, brown gravy. There were plates of

rabbit, stuffing, potatoes, and gravy.
