One evening, Amos Slade, Widow Tweed, Hogarth Hughes, and Elmyra Duff were eating dinner in the dining room. They were having jambalaya, which he hated! Hogarth looked disgusted. "No, I'm not eating my dinner!" he said. "But you have to eat your dinner, now eat." Widow implored him. Hogarth glared at her. "No! I want Dairy Queen!" "We are not having Dairy Queen, we are having jambalaya, now eat it!" Amos lectured. "No!" Hogarth shouted. "Yes!" Amos snapped. "No!" "Yes!" Widow snapped too. "No!"
