Charlotte: Oh, no! Marianne already brought a clover casserole; that's what I was making. And, it was sooo difficult refraining from eating the necessary clover for the recipe.
Agnes: Everything is alright, dear. I saw Mama looking for wild strawberries in that patch under the crepe myrtle tree. If we can just keep everychicken from gobbling them up like the most mannerless of chooks, there should be plenty to decorate some lovely layer batter cupcakes.
Martha: We're bringing the cucumber and tomato salad, that should be enough, along with a pretty and yummy dessert, shouldn't it?
Emily: Please, girls, keep it down! I'm concentrating on making Mama breakfast...
Bessie: if you're so concerned with always making Mama's breakfast, why do you always lay in the ONE spot she can't reach? Hmmm?
Emily:If you must know, it's for the same reason you pretend that you need to be lifted into the coop and up on the roosting bar every night...I like it when Mama comes in to the run with us
Anne: Okay, enough, already! We have a PARTY to get to!
Agnes: A party to "attend", dear. We don't end our sentences with a preposition.
Anne: You don't, maybe...
