She's much better now and will come back to school by the middle of the month. I must tell her before that or she'll get a shock. Yesterday she asked: Does not S. C. ask about me any more? Oh yes, I fibbed, but not so often as before. And she said: That's the way it goes, out of sight out of mind. What will happen when she learns the truth. Anyhow I shan't tell her until she's quite strong.
Already she had almost fibbed, in explaining Clo's errand. If only, now, she could have five minutes' grace! "You ought to know I never guess anything right!" she laughed. "It's not quite four.

"Don't say what you were going to, Dear and remember it is as great a sin to get into such a temper as it is to tell a story."
