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 to go home . Cecily said she thought it wicked of us to be glad . But when we asked her `` cross her heart '' if she was n't glad herself she had to say she was . Miss Cecily King has got three very distinguished names on her quilt square . They are the Governor and his wife and a witch 's .
The King family had the honour XXXXX entertaining the Governor 's wife to tea on February the seventeenth .
