I can hardly believe it. But now that
I think of it--Uncle Roger has been teasing her ever since she was in
Halifax last summer."

"If she does get married you'll have to come and live with us," said
Cecily delightedly.

Felicity did not betray so much delight and the Story Girl remarked with
a weary little sigh that she hoped Aunt Olivia wouldn't. We all felt
rather weary, somehow. Peg's predictions had been unsettling, and our
nerves had all been more or less strained during our sojourn under her
roof. We were glad when we found ourselves at home.

The folks had not been at all troubled about us, but it was because they
were sure the storm had come up before we would think of leaving Cousin
Mattie's and not because they had received any mysterious message from
Peg's skull. We were relieved at this, but on the whole, our adventure
had not done much towards clearing up the vexed question of Peg's
witchcraft.

EDITORIAL

The editor wishes to make a few remarks about the Resolution Honour
Roll. As will be seen, only one name figures on it. Felicity says she
has thought a beautiful thought every morning before breakfast without

resolution perfect. Felix has worked all his arithmetic problems by
himself. He complains that he never got more than a third of them
right and the teacher has marked him away down; but one cannot keep
resolutions without some inconvenience. Peter has never played tit-tat-x
in church or got drunk and says it wasn't as bad as he expected. (PETER,
INDIGNANTLY: "I never said it." CECILY, SOOTHINGLY: "Now, Peter, Bev
only meant that as a joke.") Sara Ray has never talked any mean gossip,
but does not find conversation as interesting as it used to be. (SARA
RAY, WONDERINGLY: "I don't remember of saying that.")

Felix did not eat any apples until March, but forgot and ate seven the
day we were at Cousin Mattie's. (FELIX: "I only ate five!") He soon gave
