"Oh, thank you," said Dorothy. "It's lucky we started you first, for
I'm hungry, and you can be cooking something for us to eat while we
match the other folks together."

of them now worked on the cook, trying piece after piece to see if it
would fit, they finally had the cook set up complete.

Larry.
