Answer 1

It was morning. The children were having breakfast. There were three of them but they were making enough noise for six and had no table manners. Mrs. Large took a tray and laid it with a teapot, a cup, and a plate with marmalade toast. She put the morning paper beside the cup and went to the door. “Where are you going with that tray, Mom?” asked Laura suspiciously. "To the kitchen", said Mrs. Large. – "Why are you going to the kitchen?", asked the other two. – "Because I want five minutes’ peace from all of you. That’s why".
She entered the kitchen, shut the door, sat down to table and poured herself a cup of tea. She closed her eyes. Everything was so quiet. It was heaven.
Suddenly the door opened and Lester came in. "Do you want me to play the flute? I have been practicing since you told me to. Can I?" He heard his mother gave a sigh. – "Please, just for one minute." – "Go on, then." So Lester played.
He had just finished when Laura came in and said she wanted to read a page from her reading book. – "You let Lester play the flute. You like him better than me." – "Oh, don't be silly, Laura", said Mrs. Large. "Go on, read. Just one page." So Laura read. A little one came in with his toys. He put them on the table. – "For you," he said. – "Thank you," said Mrs. Large weakly.
