"Mrs. Costello, Mr. Odie said he recently broke off his engagement with the Pollard family because of financial troubles, so we'll have to settle for a simpler meal tonight."
Sophie couldn't help but laugh when she saw the bowl of egg soup in front of her.
Even if the Minton family was down to their last penny, they wouldn't just serve her a pot of boiling water.
This had to be one of Odie's ridiculous ideas.
"Tell Odie I appreciate the gesture, but I'll pass on the soup."
Sophie stood up, took the bowl of egg soup, and the maid, caught off guard, asked, "Mrs. Costello, you…"
Sophie walked out of the bedroom, headed downstairs.
"Mrs. Costello! You shouldn't be wandering off! Mrs. Costello!"
The maid tried to follow, but Sophie was too quick.
Odie, who was eating in the living room, saw Sophie walk past him and then heard her call out, "Lucky! Soup's for you!"
The big black dog at the door sniffed the bowl of soup Sophie placed on the ground, then silently backed away.
Odie stuffed a bite of doughnut into his mouth and saw Sophie walking back from the door.
Odie asked, "Who let you out?"
"Sorry, Mr. Odie! I'm sorry! I couldn't stop her."
Odie frowned, "Did I ask you?"
The maid, taken aback, glanced at Sophie and then at Odie before wisely stepping back.
Sophie approached, eyeing the assortment of breakfast items in front of Odie.
"Mr. Odie, I thought we were too poor to afford food?"
"That's the situation."
"Where did all this breakfast come from then?"
