Question

Dinner was almost ready when Pa and Mr. Boast came back with the bobsled. The enormous rabbit was browning in the oven. Potatoes were boiling, and the coffeepot bubbled on the back of the stove. The house was full of the good smells of roasting meat, hot bread, and coffee. Laura spread the clean white tablecloth, and in the centre of the table she set the glass sugar bowl, the glass jug full of cream, and the glass spoon-holder full of silver spoons. Around the table Carrie laid the knives and forks, and filled the water glasses, while Laura set all the plates in a pile at Pa's place, all around the table, she cheerfully put a glass sauce dish holding half a canned peach in golden syrup. The table was beautiful. Before Pa, on the big platter, lay (lie-lay-lain) the huge roasted rabbit with piles of bread-and-onion stuffing steaming around it. From a dish on one side stood a mound (morman) of mashed potatoes, and on the other side stood a bowl of rich, brown gravy. There were plates of hot corn bread and of small hot biscuits. There was a dish of cucumber pickles. Ma poured the strong brown coffee and tea, while Pa heaped each plate with roast rabbit, stuffing, potatoes, and gravy.
