I'm really a very happy$$$ contented little person in spite of my broken heart.

I read somewhere once that souls were like flowers$$$' said Priscilla.'Then your soul is a golden narcissus$$$' said Anne$$$ 'and Diana's is like a red$$$ red rose. Jane's is an apple blossom$$$ pink and wholesome and sweet.''And our own is a white violet$$$ with purple streaks in its heart$$$' finished Priscilla.

I don't like places or people either that haven't any faults. I think that a truly perfect person would be very uninteresting.

If a kiss could be seen I think it would look like a violet$$$' said Priscilla.Anne glowed.'I'm so glad you spoke that thought$$$ Priscilla$$$ instead of just thinking it and keeping it to yourself. This world would be a much more interesting place…although it is very interesting$$$ anyhow…if people spoke out their real thoughts.

Well$$$ one can't get over the habit of being a liitle girl all at once.

...And every day in heaven will be more beautiful than the one before it Davy$$$" assured Anne.
