Miss Sibyl, who did not seem quite as bright as usual, looked at them with wistful eyes. After breakfast was over she took Olive into the garden with her. The child begged to be told the 'Easter story,' and Miss Sibyl tried to oblige her, saying as she did so, 'But you know it much better than I do.' MISS SIBYL WHO DID NOT SEEM QUITE AS BRIGHT AS USUAL LOOKED AT THEM WITH WISTFUL EYES AFTER BREAKFAST WAS OVER SHE TOOK OLIVE INTO THE GARDEN WITH HER THE CHILD BEGGED TO BE TOLD THE EASTER STORY AND MISS SIBYL TRIED TO OBLIGE HER SAYING AS SHE DID SO BUT YOU KNOW IT MUCH BETTER THAN I DO
e, Olive exclaimed,-- 'It's going to be a lovely day, Roland, from the very beginning! I wish our breakfast table in the nursery was like this!' [Illustration] 'Olive looks very well in that little serge frock,' remarked Miss Amabel presently, looking across at her little niece with approval in her eyes; 'she is getting quite a pink colour in her cheeks, and has lost that pinched, peaky look. I really think the measles did them both good!' 'And does Roland look nice too?' asked Olive quietly, being quite accustomed to personal remarks from her aunts, 'because he has got a new tie on. It's a pretty blue one.' 'Does everybody wear something new on Easter Sunday?' Roland asked quickly. 'It's an old superstition, dear; no, everybody does not.' 'Why ought we to wear new things?' demanded Olive. 'Why, Olive, of course it's because it's the proper time,' answered Roland. 'Easter is when people get their new bodies, and the flowers are all new.' Olive was quite satisfied with this explanation.
