St. Leonard came without his trousers.
Which was worse. We found them in the evening. The little boy that
blew up our stove was there with his mother. But I didn't speak to
her. He's got a doom. That's what made him blow it up. He couldn't
help it. So you see it wasn't my fault. After all. His grandfather
was blown up. And he's going to be blown up again. Later on. But
he is very brave. And is going to make a will. I like all the St.
Leonards very much. We went there to tea on Sunday. And Mr. St.
Leonard said I was bright. I think Miss Janie very beautiful. And
so does Dick. She makes me think of angels. So she does Dick. And
he says she is so kind to her little brothers and sisters. It is a
good sign. I think she ought to marry Dick. It would steady him.
He works very hard. But I think it does him good. We have breakfast
at seven. And I lay the table. It is very beautiful in the morning.
When you are once up. Mrs. St. Leonard has twins. They are a great
anxiety to her. But she would not part from them. She has had much
trouble. And is sometimes very sad. I like the girl best. Her name
is Winnie. She is more like a boy. His name is Wilfrid. But
sometimes they change clothes. Then you're done. They are only
nearly seven. But they know a lot. They are going to teach me
swimming. Is it not kind of them? The two older boys are at home
for their holidays.
