Diana clapped her hands . `` Oh , I KNEW it would win the prize -- I was sure of it . I sent your story into the competition , Anne . '' `` Diana -- Barry ! '' `` Yes , I did , '' said Diana gleefully , perching herself on the bed . `` When I saw the offer I thought of your story in a minute , and at first I thought I 'd ask you to send it in . But then I was afraid you would n't -- you had so little faith left in it . So I just decided I 'd send the copy you gave me , and say nothing about it . Then , if it did n't win the prize , you 'd never know and you would n't feel badly over it , because the stories that failed were not to be returned , and if it did you 'd have such a delightful surprise . '' Diana was not the most discerning of mortals , but just at this moment it struck her that Anne was not looking exactly overjoyed . The surprise was there , beyond doubt -- but where was the delight ? `` Why , Anne , you do n't seem a bit pleased ! '' she exclaimed . Anne instantly manufactured a smile and put it on . `` Of course I could n't be anything but pleased over your unselfish wish to give me pleasure , '' she said slowly . `` But you know -- I 'm so amazed -- I ca n't realize it -- and I do n't understand . There was n't a word in my story about -- about -- '' Anne choked a little over the word -- `` baking powder . '' `` Oh , I put that in , '' said Diana , reassured . `` It was as easy as wink -- and of course my experience in our old Story Club helped me . You know the scene where Averil makes the cake ?
Well , I just stated that she used the Rollings Reliable in it , and that was why it turned out so well ; and then , in the last paragraph , where PERCEVAL clasps AVERIL in his arms and says , ` Sweetheart , the beautiful coming years will bring us the fulfilment of our home XXXXX dreams , ' I added , ` in which we will never use any baking powder except Rollings Reliable . ' ''
