Can't you write them over again ?" "Never!" Ulyth replied, wiping her eyes.

"Rona, you don't realize what damage you've done.

There! oh yes, I'll forgive you, but if you want to keep friends with me, don't go and do anything of the sort again, that's all!" Ulyth felt a little shy of meeting her class-mates after their discovery of the very unflattering description she had written of them, but the girls were good-natured and did not bear malice.

They treated the whole affair as an intense joke, and even took to calling one another by the assumed names of the story.

They composed extra portions, including a lurid description of Ulyth herself, illustrated by rapid sketches on the black-board.
