- Sometimes in the afternoon Margaret's aunts had tea and cakes or wafers, and in summer they often had iced tea or lemonade.
- This is the way Margaret made lemonade: Squeeze four lemons, and add ten teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar;
- stir till it dissolves.
- Add six glasses of water, and strain.
- Pour in a glass pitcher, and serve with glasses filled half-full of cracked ice.
- If you want this very nice, put a little shredded pineapple with the lemons.
- Sometimes the juice of red raspberries is liked, also.
