Immediately, Daphne plugged her ears with her fingers. "
La la la LA LA! No! I know! I
know! Just don't say it out loud!" hissed Daphne, shutting her eyes in the process as she sat on the cold floor, sticking robes over her legs.
What Daphne knew and what Celandine had to tell were, perhaps, two different things. This discrepancy did not occur to Miss Hopton. She was never wrong.
Ever. The mere idea that her conclusion was incorrectly drawn was simply, in one word: preposterous. "Oh..." remarked Daphne finally unplugging her ears and pointing at the
ribbon. "You might as well get rid of that. If you want, I can use some of the surplus
ribbon to make you a
beret," finished Daphne meekly, patting her own beret.
Somehow, randomly bursting into conversation about their ribbon seemed awfully inappropriate for this situation.
