Explain how Adeline “saved face” in the egg incident at school. (Chapter 18)

Adeline saves face by handing the egg back to Mary. She didn't realize that some of her classmates noticed she had never received an egg and wanted her to have one. 

Adeline saves face by handing the egg back to Mary and stating she doesn't like eggs, so that's why her parents never give her one. She lied obviously.
