The little girl ran up to Gao Yang, gulped down a few deep breaths, then blinked her big eyes and said, gawking: "Lady Hetty asks you to come over."

Betty tilted her head up and answered with a perfectly serious face: "Miss Rebecca said this is our new home, and since we're home, I put the frying pan in the kitchen."
Carrying the cookware when going out with everyone, and putting it back in the kitchen once they were home—that too was something Mrs. Hanson had taught her.
