"Ah!" said Fibo. "I've heard. One day next week; then we'll have a golden time."
"What day?"
"That's her secret. I am never told. We get ready for her, and she just walks in and surprises me. We always do it like that."
"How lovely! And does she come by herself?"
"Annette brings her."
"Who's Annette?"
"Her nurse. She's French. Dreamikins is very fond of her. Her mother thought she would learn French from her, but I am afraid Annette is too fond of English. She speaks it very well."
Freda and Daffy looked a little awed.
"Mums has a French maid, but we don't like her, and Nurse doesn't either. She says she's a heathen. She goes to Mass!"
"You aren't painting pictures to-day," Daffy said, rather reprovingly.
