Frank was puzzled. "What are you getting? Why do you have to get it from a market and not the grocery store?"

"I smelled something special when I took a stroll outside the cottage," Meg replied, not one for mysteries.

Meg giggled unabashedly, as she was not some innocent maiden. "I'll take both. The more the better!"
