Malone, Of course! It's rather strange that you never think of bringing me a present." "But, mother, you wouldn't care for this sort of thing," he protested, "and it was awfully cheap."

I don't know where my old book is gone long since from the nursery bookshelf to the dustbin, I expect, for it was much-used and frail when I knew and loved it but your word-picture gave me the passport and enabled me to creep once again inside its cover, so brave in blue and gold, and to greet my friend in the red stockings, and find her as highly coloured as ever, and not a day older.

But I warn you I have been near breaking point.

When it rained we used to sit under the gallery in the corner by the dustbin and she used to tell us and it's really true! And, besides, don't you think she's fascinating?
