It runs as follows: There were ten brothers, whose names were Sefulu, Iva, Valu, Fitu, Ono, Lima, Fa, Tolu, Lua, and Tasi, and so named from the ten numerals, which in those days began with Sefulu as 1, and ended with Tasi as 10. These ten brothers went to the forest to cut wood for a large canoe. They came upon an owl and a serpent fighting.
"She never wanted me to be a monitress!" "Nonsense!" "It's the truth." "Well, she missed her own opportunity, so she can't blame you for taking it this afternoon." "She's against me all the same. Iva and Nesta are quite nice, but there are going to be squalls with Muriel. You'll take my part?" "Of course I shall, through thick and thin. You can always count on your own sister."
"We shall always be a little uncertain now which is you and which is your cousin!" laughed Iva. "Oh, he won't do it again! We've put him on his honour, and I don't think he'd break his word." The Kittiwake The great Easter secret, which Merle had surprised and preserved with so much difficulty, was out at last.
What does Muriel know about a decent game of hockey, or how to conduct a society, or run a school magazine? It's idiotic that she should be chosen. Neither she nor Iva nor Nesta has ever been at a big school. A precious bungle they'll make of their meetings. I know you'll be there but you're so gentle you'll never stand up against them, and they'll have everything their own silly way.
I used to long to do a little bossing on my own, instead of trailing like a comet's tail after the big girls. What those kids want is a properly organised club. They'd work the steam off in that. I've a very good mind to draw up a scheme, show it to Miss Mitchell, and ask her if I may start it among the juniors. If I have her leave, then Iva and Nesta can't call it interfering."
They were sporting enough to give her their congratulations. "It means first prize, old thing! Won't we give you a clap as you march on to the platform!" said Iva. Miss Pollard was determined to do this, her first Speech Day, in style; the chair was to be taken by a local magnate, and the prizes distributed by a real live professor from Oxford, who was spending his vacation in the neighbourhood.
Besides, I like Iva better." "Oh, Bill, don't you love me any more?" "Course I do, Little Fudge Sundae. But a popular doctor has responsibilities." "I know. I don't mean to be unreasonable. But let's keep peace in the family as long as it's convenient see what I mean?" "I see.
"Oh, my dear, I am unjust to you! I will take what you give me what you can spare from the little dog and the cat and the guinea pig. And I will be your own little Petty Warblecoat. And I won't give you over to Iva Payne I hate her!" The mail. The Petticoats rarely received mail. It wasn't done much in Butterfly Center. So unaesthetic. On a tray, a lacquered lackey brought a letter to Warble.
There was more much more but at this point Warble rose, made a comprehensive, all-embracing and very outspoken face at them and went down to the pantry. "It's no use " she groaned, "perpetual waste motion and now waste color! What to do what to do! "Yet I must reform them somehow. That Iva Payne! Like a pure, pale lily but I bet her soul has got its rubbers on!
She had been educated solely at 'The Moorings, and she very much resented any allusions by Merle to former doings at the Whinburn High school. Iva and Nesta were more broad-minded, and were quite ready to take the benefit of Merle's past experiences, but as their work lay largely at the hostel they were not so likely to clash.
