`` I believe I will . She looks so much friendlier than I expected . Of course she 'll choose the five-cent section . She 's an estimable old lady , but very economical . '' `` Why do n't you say she 's so mean she 'd skin a flea for its hide and tallow ? '' said Dan . `` That 's the plain truth . '' `` Well , I 'm going to see about getting tea , '' said Felicity , `` so the rest of you will have to entertain her . You better go in and show her the photographs in the album . Dan , you do it . '' `` Thank you , that 's a girl 's job , '' said Dan . `` I 'd look nice sitting up to Aunt Eliza and yelling out that this was Uncle Jim and ` tother Cousin Sarah 's twins , would n't I ? Cecily or the Story Girl can do it . '' `` I do n't know all the pictures in your album , '' said the Story Girl hastily . `` I s ` pose I 'll have to do it , though I do n't like to , '' sighed Cecily . `` But we ought to go in . We 've left her alone too long now . She 'll think we have no manners . '' Accordingly we all filed in rather reluctantly . Great-aunt Eliza was toasting her toes -- clad , as we noted , in very smart and shapely shoes -- at the stove and looking quite at her ease .
Cecily , determined to do her duty even in the face of such fearful odds as Great-aunt Eliza 's deafness , dragged a ponderous , plush-covered XXXXX from its corner and proceeded to display and explain the family photographs .
