Now some of the creamy stuff had come off on Bad Harry’s finger and he liked it very much, so he put his finger into the creamy stuff on the trifle, and took some of it off and ate it, and my naughty little sister ate some too. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, because I feel so ashamed of them, and expect you feel ashamed of them too.

I hope you aren’t too shocked to hear any more? Because, do you know, those two bad children forgot all about the party and the nice children all singing ‘Ring O’Roses’. They took a spoon each and scraped off the creamy stuff and ate it, and then they began to eat the nice spongy inside.

Bad Harry said, ‘Now we’ve made the trifle look so untidy, no one else will want any, so we may as well eat it all up.’ So they dug away into the spongy inside of the trifle and found lots of nice fruit bits inside. It was a very big trifle, but those greedy children ate and ate.

Then, just as they had nearly finished the whole big trifle, the ‘Ring O’Roses’-ing stopped, and Bad Harry’s mother called, ‘Where are you two? We are ready for tea.’

Then my naughty little sister was very frightened. Because she knew she had been very naughty, and she looked at Bad Harry and he knew he had been very naughty, and they both felt terrible. Bad Harry had a creamy mess of trifle all over his face, and even in his real man’s haircut, and my naughty little sister had made her new green party-dress all trifly – you know how it happens if you eat too quickly and greedily.

‘It’s tea-time,’ said Bad Harry, and he looked at my naughty little sister, and my naughty little sister thought of the jellies and the cakes and the sandwiches, and all the other things, and she felt very full of trifle, and she said, ‘Don’t want any.’

And do you know what she did? Just as Bad Harry’s mother came into the kitchen, my naughty little sister slipped out of the door, and ran and ran all the way home. It was a good thing our home was only down the street and no roads to cross, or I don’t know what would have happened to her.

Bad Harry’s mother was so cross when she saw the trifle, that she sent Bad Harry straight to bed, and he had to stay there and hear all the nice children enjoying themselves. I don’t know what happened to him in the night, but I know that my naughty little sister wasn’t at all a well girl, from having eaten so much trifle – and I also know that she doesn’t like spongy trifle any more.
