“We were thinking about skating in a palace,” said Molly.

“I wish you would think about what kind of birthday party you’d like to have. It’s less than a week away, you know,” Mrs. McIntire said to Molly.

“I know,” said Molly. “I just can’t decide. I was thinking of going to the movies, but we did that last year. I want to do something different.”

“How do you celebrate birthdays, Emily?” Mrs. McIntire asked.

Emily thought a moment. “In England, we used to have a tea party and—”

“A tea party!” Molly broke in. “Oooh! That’s perfect! Can we do that, Mom?”

“I don’t see why not,” said Mrs. McIntire. “Emily can tell us exactly what to do.”

Emily glowed. “Of course, I haven’t actually had a big birthday party in a long time. Not since the war started, really, because it’s impossible to get sweets and special foods,” she added quickly. “But when I was much younger, I had a party with ten girls. The room was decorated with flowers and ribbons, and we played games and ate lovely treats.”

“Like princesses!” said Molly. “That’s what my birthday party will be: the princesses’ tea party!” Then Molly had a wonderful idea. “Emily, why don’t you share my birthday with me? It will make up for the parties you’ve missed. We’ll have a tea party, and we’ll be the princesses, you and me. We’ll dress up so we’ll look alike and everything. It will be the most wonderful birthday party anyone ever had. What do you think?”

Emily’s cheeks were as pink as posies. “I think it would be very nice indeed,” she said.

Molly knew that was an excited answer, coming from Emily. Emily must be very, very pleased, just as pleased as Molly was herself.
