Gradually it was whispered about that Ginny Cox had done it. "We might have known that," several laughed, thinking Ginny very clever.
But there was something about the rakish tilt of the hat that was in such strange contrast to the severe spectacles and the thin, frosty nose, that it gave the snowlady the appearance of staggering and made her very funny.
