If lemon tarts were as good as Edward was insisting they were, she wouldn't have a choice but to come back and try one!  Not today, though.  Today was strawberry tarts, for the very first time, and she would enjoy every second of it!

As the man behind the counter inspected the coins, Mable looked at him very carefully, like how she would look at her dad when in his presence.  It must have been a very good tactic, too, because the man did not say anything (didn't even look at her, in fact!) and gave them the sweets without a fuss.  She followed Edward out but turned and gave the baker man a wave before she was all the way out the door.

"Thank you!  Have a blessed day!"

The door closed behind her and she jumped up and down beside Edward.

"Can we try them now?  Or should we find somewhere to sit first?  Can we - ooh, Edward, can we have a picnic?  That would just be lovely, wouldn't it?  What do you want to do?"
