It was all about old Aunt Matilda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAunt Matilda was no relation of these children. She was an old colored\u003cbr\u003ewoman, who lived in a cabin about a quarter of a mile from their house,\u003cbr\u003ebut they considered her one of their best friends. Her old log cabin was\u003cbr\u003etheir favorite resort, and many a fine time they had there. When they\u003cbr\u003ecaught some fish, or Harry shot a bird or two, or when they could get\u003cbr\u003esome sweet potatoes or apples to roast, and some corn-meal for\u003cbr\u003eash-cakes, they would take their provisions to Aunt Matilda and she\u003cbr\u003ewould cook them. Sometimes an ash-cake would be baked rather harder than\u003cbr\u003eit was convenient to bite, and it had happened that a fish or two had\u003cbr\u003ebeen cooked entirely away, but such mishaps were not common. Aunt\u003cbr\u003eMatilda was indeed a most wonderful cook--and a cook, too, who liked to\u003cbr\u003ehave a boy and a girl by her while she was at work; and who would tell\u003cbr\u003ethem stories--as queer old stories as ever were told--while the things\u003cbr\u003ewere cooking. The stories were really the cause of the ash-cakes and\u003cbr\u003efish sometimes being forgotten.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079568703728,"sku":"2940013500495","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013500495_p0.jpg?v=1763582031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013500495","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
