"A MESSAGE FOR YOU"
• “0000, yes; can we?” “Yes.” “I had a lovely Christmas, papa,” she said to her father when she said good-night. “You young monkey. If you hadn’t hidden in the flour bin you mightn’t have had one.” “I might have been-eaten,” she said. “Mightn’t I?” “Yes,” said Mr Martin, hugging her, “but you didn’t. Good-night, Lizzy.” “Good-night, papa.” And then she lay down, but immediately got up again. “Papa, what would you have done if I had been eaten?” she called. But her father was too busy thinking ot the danger his favourite had been in, to hear. —PRUDENCE MITCHELL (aged 12), 3 Crichton- terrace. Cashmere.
