Dear Pearl,

Fanny has taken an interest in the garden, Pearl.  The other day she was pinching the heads off the petunias when she ran across a very friendly seeming toad.  Melba resisted the idea at first, but Fanny eventually persuaded her to let her keep him in that very large glass tank that Mrs Highbottom used to keep her crickets housed.  She has appointed it with all the things a toad likes and keeps it covered with a single sheet of cheesecloth she begged from Louise.  Something about the creature makes me nervous.  I can't say what.  Please advise.

I Remain As Always, Your Devoted Miss Blue
