“Bring me some hearts,
And flaming darts!”
and a dozen cupids came up, dragging a great basket full of hearts, and
carrying bundles of darts under their arms. Quick as lightning, Saint
Valentine took a couple of hearts out of the basket, clapped them on a
sheet of paper, stuck a dart into them, flung a wreath of flowers round
them, then, thump! a great stamp came down on the paper, and out of it
came a lovely valentine.
That was quick work! in five minutes, I should think, five hundred
valentines were turned out. I stood looking on in delight.
