And H.O. said, "To write unonymous letters."

"Anonymous letters are very wrong," the lady said, and she wouldn't sell

us any paper at all.

But at the other places we did not say what it was for, and they sold it

us. There were bluey and yellowy and grey and white kinds, and some was

violetish with violets on it, and some pink, with roses. The girls took

the florivorous ones, which Oswald thinks are unmanly for any but girls,

but you excuse their using it. It seems natural to them to mess about

like that.

We wrote the fifteen letters, disguising our handwritings as much as we

could. It was not easy. Oswald tried to write one of them with his left

hand, but the consequences were almost totally unreadable. Besides, if

any one could have read it, they would only have thought it was written

in an asylum for the insane, the writing was so delirious. So he chucked

it.
