Was n't the missionary splendid ? That cannibal story was simply grand . I tried to remember every word , so that I can tell it just as he told it . Missionaries are such noble people . '' `` I 'd like to be a missionary and have adventures like that , '' said Felix . `` It would be all right if you could be sure the cannibals would be interrupted in the nick of time as his were , '' said Dan . `` But sposen they were n't ? '' `` Nothing would prevent cannibals from eating Felix if they once caught him , '' giggled Felicity . `` He 's so nice and fat . '' I am sure Felix felt very unlike a missionary at that precise moment . `` I 'm going to put two cents more a week in my missionary box than I 've been doing , '' said Cecily determinedly . Two cents more a week out of Cecily 's egg money , meant something of a sacrifice . It inspired the rest of us . We all decided to increase our weekly contribution by a cent or so . And Peter , who had had no missionary box at all , up to this time , determined to start one . `` I do n't seem to be able to feel as int ` rested in missionaries as you folks do , '' he said , `` but maybe if I begin to give something I 'll get int ` rested . I 'll want to know how my money 's being spent . I wo n't be able to give much . When your father 's run away , and your mother goes out washing , and you 're only old enough to get fifty cents a week , you ca n't give much to the heathen . But I 'll do the best I can .
