Felix did not eat any apples until March , but forgot and ate seven the day we were at Cousin Mattie 's . -LRB- FELIX : `` I only ate five ! '' -RRB- He soon gave up trying to say what he thought always . He got into too much trouble . We think Felix ought to change to old Grandfather King 's rule . It was , `` Hold your tongue when you can , and when you ca n't tell the truth . '' Cecily feels she has not read all the good books she might , because some she tried to read were very dull and the Pansy books were so much more interesting . And it is no use trying not to feel bad because her hair is n't curly and she has marked that resolution out . The Story Girl came very near to keeping her resolution to have all the good times possible , but she says she missed two , if not three , she might have had . Dan refuses to say anything about his resolutions and so does the editor . PERSONALS We regret that Miss Cecily King is suffering from a severe cold . Mr. Alexander Marr of Markdale died very suddenly last week . We never heard of his death till he was dead . Miss Cecily King wishes to state that she did not ask the question about `` Holy Moses '' and the other word in the January number . Dan put it in for a mean joke . The weather has been cold and fine . We have only had one bad storm . The coasting on Uncle Roger 's hill continues good . Aunt Eliza did not favour us with a visit after all . She took cold and had to go home .
We were sorry that she had a cold but glad that she had XXXXX go home .
