Question

Having invited Helen and me to approach the table, and placed before each of us a cup of tea with one delicious but thin morsel of toast, she got up, unlocked a drawer, and taking from it a parcel wrapped in paper, disclosed presently to our eyes a good-sized seed-cake. "I meant to give each of you some of this to take with you," said she, "but as there is so little toast, you must have it now," and she proceeded to cut slices with a generous hand.

Accepted Answer

Hizo acercarse a Helen a la mesa, nos sirvió té y un apetitoso aunque minúsculo trozo de pan con manteca, y luego, levantándose, sacó de un cajón un pastel grande. -Las tostadas son tan pequeñas -dijo-, que tendremos que tomar también algo de esto. Y cortó el pastel en gruesas rebanadas.
