As will be seen, only one name figures on it.
Felicity says she has thought a beautiful thought every morning
before breakfast without missing one morning, not even the one we
were at Peg Bowen's. Some of our number think it not fair that
Felicity should be on the honour roll (FELICITY, ASIDE: "That's
Dan, of course.") when she only made one resolution and won't tell
us what any of the thoughts were. So we have decided to give
honourable mention to everybody who has kept one resolution
perfect. Felix has worked all his arithmetic problems by himself.
He complains that he never got more than a third of them right and
the teacher has marked him away down; but one cannot keep
resolutions without some inconvenience. Peter has never played
tit-tat-x in church or got drunk and says it wasn't as bad as he
expected. (PETER, INDIGNANTLY: "I never said it." CECILY,
SOOTHINGLY: "Now, Peter, Bev only meant that as a joke.") Sara Ray
has never talked any mean gossip, but does not find conversation
as interesting as it used to be. (SARA RAY, WONDERINGLY: "I don't
remember of saying that.")
Felix did not eat any apples until March, but forgot and ate seven
the day we were at Cousin Mattie's. (FELIX: "I only ate five!")
He soon gave up trying to say what he thought always.
