Ans:

The speaker of the line quoted above is Roger, who attempted to steal the purse of Mrs Jones.

The speaker said this to Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones, who wanted to teach him right from wrong.

Roger was so touched by Mrs Jones’ motherly affection that he wished to earn a place in her heart by extending his helping hand. Hence, he asked her if she needed someone to go to the store maybe to get some milk or something.

Mrs Jones heated some lima beans and ham she had in the icebox. made cocoa out of canned milk and cut him a half of her ten-cent cake. The two had all these in supper.
