And . . . that was enough. Sarah turned back to her book. 鈥淲e鈥檙e done now, Harriet.鈥�
鈥淧补谤耻苍颈肠辞谤苍蝉.鈥�
Sarah couldn鈥檛 even imagine where that one had come from. But still, she found herself humming as she read.
Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clements.
Meanwhile, Harriet was muttering to herself at the desk. 鈥淧ontoonicorns xyloonicorns . . .鈥�
