Moll and Jane had a pic-nic. They first begged the cook to give them
some sand-wich-es and gin-ger-bread. Then Moll stole down stairs, and
got an a-pron-ful of po-ta-toes, while Jane got some match-es. They were
go-ing to roast their po-ta-toes; and this is the way they did it. They
dug a shal-low hole, put them in, cov-ered them with dirt, and then
built a fire a-bove them. They were ver-y good when they were cooked, I
can tell you.
