"Kitty Sharston," said Mrs. Aylmer; "what about her?"
"Well, she is really clever, and everyone seems to wish her to win."
"I call that shocking unfair," said Mrs. Aylmer.
"It is, mother, but we cannot get over the fact. She is a favorite with the school, and I must own she is a jolly girl. Now, what do you think she did for me?"
"What, my darling?"
"You know the Cherry Feast?"
"Of course I do—have not you described it to me so often? You would make a wonderful writer, I believe, you would make a lot of money writing stories, Florence."
"No, I wouldn't, Mummy, not really. It takes a good deal to be a good story-writer."
"Well, go on, pet, I am all agog to hear."
So Florence related also the story of the cherry ribbons.
