160 May comes to the Rescue.

At last he went to sleep; and I
cannot tell you what his dreams were
about, or whether he had any. I
know, however, that next morning
while May was washing and dressing
him, he asked her more than once
whether she thought that all the
sugar had been eaten up for supper,
or whether the basin would come
out again for tea that day.

May did not know; and besides,
she was getting quite tired of the
subject, and did net encourage him to
talk about it. However, Johnny
made haste to go down, that he
might just see whether the basin was
still left out of the cupboard, and
whether it was empty now or not.
