“then we’ll eat,” said the woman, -Who said this and to whom? Why did the speaker say these words? What food did the speaker offer to the other person?

Mrs. Jones took Roger to her house and ordered him to clean his dirty face. This generous behaviour of Mrs Jones helped Roger to gather courage to ask if she would hand him over to the police. In reply to Roger’s question, Mrs Jones said that the time when Roger attempted to snatch her pocketbook, she was trying to get home to prepare something to eat. Then the concerned lady asked if Roger had supper and the boy said that there was nobody at his house, Hearing this Mrs. Jones announced that then they will eat together. Mrs. Jones heated lima beans and ham she had in the icebox, made cocoa out of the canned milk andcut him a half of a ten-cent cake. These were the foods Mrs. Jones offered to Roger during supper.
