_MY DEAR FREDA,_
_Because you are fond of fairy-tales, and have been ill, I have
made you a story all for yourself--a new one that nobody has
read before._
_And the queerest thing about it is--that I heard it in
Gloucestershire, and that it is true--at least about the tailor,
the waistcoat, and the_
_"No more twist!"_
_Christmas, 1901_

paduasoy and taffeta--there lived a tailor in Gloucester.
