The Unwiseman "What nonsense," said Mollie, as she read this extraordinary production. "As if[Pg 53] the burglars would pay any attention to a notice like that." [Pg 53] "It might make 'em laugh so they'd have fits; and then they couldn't burgle." "Oh, they might!" said Whistlebinkie. "It might make 'em laugh so they'd have fits, and then they couldn't burgle. But what is that other placard he has pinned on the wall?" "That," said Mollie, as she investigated[Pg 54] the second placard, "that seems to be a lot of rules for the kitchen. He's a queer old man for placards, isn't he?" [Pg 54] "Indeed he is," said Whistlebinkie. "What do the rules say?" "I'll get 'em down," said Mollie, mounting a chair and removing the second placard from the wall. Then she and Whistlebinkie read the following words: Kitching Rules. Kitching Rules. CONTENTS [Pg 55] 1. No cook under two years of age unaccompanied by nurse or parent aloud in this kitching. 3. Boyled eggs must never be cooked in the frying pan, and when fried eggs are ordered the cook must remember not to scramble them. This rule is printed ahed of number too, because it is more important than it. 2. Butcher boys are warned not to sit on the ranje while the fiyer is going because all[Pg 55] the heat in the fiyer is needed for cooking. Butcher boys who violate this rule will be charged for the cole consumed in burning them. [Pg 55] "The fiyer must not be allowed to go out without someboddy with it." CONTENTS [Pg 56]
