Tanglewoods' Secret1980

[first lines]

[Ruth is lying in bed as Philip comes into her room, sits on her bed and reaches inside a sock]

Philip:
[as Ruth excitedly tries to feel the contents of the sock] Careful!

[Philip takes out a bun covered with white icing and gives it to Ruth]

Ruth:
[excitedly taking the bun] Philip!

[Ruth starts eating the bun]

Ruth:
[happily] What else did you have for supper?

Philip:
I'm afraid we had meatballs, but they weren't very nice so you didn't miss much.
