I 'm so sorry I did n't see Paddy , for I love pussy cats , even if they do track molasses over my clothes . And , Cecily , thank you ever so much for that little bag of pot-pourri . It smells like a hundred rose gardens , and I have put it between the sheets for my very sparest room bed , where you shall sleep when you come to see me , you dear thing . And the Governor wants you to put his name on the quilt square , too , in the ten-cent section . `` Tell Dan I enjoyed his comments on the photographs very much . They were quite a refreshing contrast to the usual explanations of ` who 's who . ' And Felicity , your rusks were perfection . Do send me your recipe for them , there 's a darling . `` Yours most cordially , AGNES CLARK LESLEY . `` Well , it was decent of her to apologize , anyhow , '' commented Dan . `` If we only had n't said that about the Governor , '' moaned Felicity . `` How did you make your rusks ? '' asked Aunt Janet . `` There was no baking-powder in the house , and I never could get them right with soda and cream of tartar . '' `` There was plenty of baking-powder in the pantry , '' said Felicity . `` No , there was n't a particle . I used the last making those cookies Thursday morning . '' `` But I found another can nearly full , away back on the top shelf , ma , -- the one with the yellow label . I guess you forgot it was there . '' Aunt Janet stared at her pretty daughter blankly .
Then amazement gave place XXXXX horror .
