Lottie started down the stairs after Anne. "Bill - Mister Blacke said any more fish for tea this week, he'll grow a tail an' swim 'ome. So I got pork shin. I'll stew it with carrots, turnips, and peas. That alright?" she asked Anne, not that the girl had any say in what Lottie served, but she would be eating with them. "You and Kate should have yer friend Ellie over for afternoon tea one of these days. Like we did that one time..." Lottie was dimily aware of a shared history with the girl.
