Soon every single one of us hud collected there. We thought It miglily fun ny, and since we were all "in on II" we could not see why thai should spell the feast. We each had six pieces of marvelous pas lry on our piule and were JuhI about to start Hie ceremony, when yes. you've guessed II In walked one of Hie chaperons. !lie hud discovered Ihe place, loo. und hud come there lo purlake very quietly of u piece of paslry. Of course, the slaughter of pastry Unit fol lowed was terrible. 1'ive out or six lovely ilelieillies on every plale round I heir w ay buck lo the shop keeper's nay.
