Chapter VI
Sylvia was shown this missive in due course, and tossed it from her with impatient hand. "You must not send it, Pixie! You must not dream of sending it. Don't you see, dear, they only want to get money from you instead of giving it themselves? You have already sent three shillings, and now they want five more, and probably next time there would be another excuse for getting some more.
