It's harder, 'cause you have to
stick to facts." FELICITY: "I don't believe you could make up a
story." PETER: "I'll show you!")
MY MOST EXCITING ADVENTURE
It's my turn to write it but I'm SO NERVOUS. My worst adventure
happened TWO YEARS AGO. It was an awful one. I had a striped
ribbon, striped brown and yellow and I LOST IT. I was very sorry
for it was a handsome ribbon and all the girls in school were
jealous of it. (FELICITY: "I wasn't. I didn't think it one bit
pretty." CECILY: "Hush!") I hunted everywhere but I couldn't find
it. Next day was Sunday and I was running into the house by the
front door and I saw SOMETHING LYING ON THE STEP and I thought it
was my ribbon and I made a grab at it as I passed. But, oh, it
was A SNAKE! Oh, I can never describe how I felt when I felt that
awful thing WRIGGLING IN MY HAND. I let it go and SCREAMED AND
SCREAMED, and ma was cross at me for yelling on Sunday and made me
read seven chapters in the Bible but I didn't mind that much after
what I had come through. I would rather DIE than have SUCH AN
EXPERIENCE again.
SARA RAY.
TO FELICITY ON HER BERTHDAY
Oh maiden fair with golden hair
And brow of purest white,
Id fight for you I'd die for you
Let me be your faithful knite.
