“Tink is so close to Sheepskerry by now that a little wind won’t hurt,” said Sylva, even as she and her best friend had to fight the gusts. “She’ll be here in lots of time for the party. You wait and see.”

Wait and see. Sylva wished she had never said those words. Because waiting and waiting and waiting and not seeing was exactly what she and Poppy did that day. It wasn’t so bad at breakfast time, as they knew Tinker Bell would not arrive in time for an early meal. But Tink had said the morning of Christmas Eve, and as the clock got closer and closer to noon, Sylva’s heart sank.

“The other fairies will be coming for our Welcome Home Tink party so soon!” Sylva cried as the clock struck three. “She hasn’t even arrived yet. We won’t get to see her for more than a few minutes before everybody else arrives. It’s not fair!”

“We might not get to see her at all at this rate,” said Goldie. “I wouldn’t be surprised if she just forgot—”

“Don’t say such a thing, Goldie,” said Rosy, who was almost never cross. But between all this waiting for Tinker Bell, and Squeakie’s fussing, and Sylva’s chatter, even Rosy’s nerves were frayed.

“Yes, please, Goldie,” said Clara. “Things are difficult enough today, now that Sylva has invited a dozen fairies to a magical tea.”

“Now it’s turned into twenty fairies, and I’ll say what I want,” said Goldie. “And it will probably turn out to be thirty fairies or more. All our fairy friends are bringing their fairy friends. We have about enough sandwiches and cakes for ten. Tink had better get here and get here fast.” And she flew up to her bedroom and slammed the door.

“I’m not feeling very Christmassy,” said Sylva.

“No lolo,” said Squeak.

“That’s about the first thing she’s said that I’ve really understood this whole week,” said Rosy. “What do you suppose is going on with her?”

“Can you please stop talking about Squeak when I’m the one who needs love and care?” said Sylva. “No one is paying attention to me!” And she flew up to her room.

“We can’t pay attention to you and take care of Squeak and make a party for twenty—”

“Thirty!” Sylva shouted.

“—thirty fairies at the same time!” said Clara. “Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get down here and help.”

If you have a brother or sister or know someone who does, you’ll understand exactly what was going on at the Fairy Bell sisters’ house just then. Sylva was bitterly disappointed that Tink had not yet arrived. Goldie was still unhappy about not getting that skirt at the Christmas Fair. Rosy was preoccupied with Squeakie, and Clara was suddenly in charge of a party she did not want to give. In short, all the Fairy Bell sisters were upset and even a little bit angry, and they were pretty much taking it out on one another.

Ding-dong! the doorbell of the fairy house rang out.

“I’ll get it!” said Poppy, glad to have something to do.
