“It’s over two—three days. It ought to be a big letter.”

“A big letter for a little woman.”

“I wonder if she writes as beautifully as she paints?”

“Very likely.”

“And, oh, daddy, will she be back for our garden party?”

“I think so.”

“Mother says I can’t behave nicely at parties. I shall go about with Miss Eve, and I’ll do just what she does. Then I ought to behave very nicely, oughtn’t I?”

“Perfectly.”

“I do love Miss Eve, daddy, don’t you?”

“We always agree, Miss Pixie.”
