"Oh, hallo, Caro darling!" Sara called. "Fancy, I haven't got scarlet fever at all-"
"No!" Caroline mocked her.
"No, it's nettle-rash. Vanessa says it's hay fever, but I know about that, and I think she means nettle-rash; she had it once just after she was married."
"I expect it's from eating all those sausages," said Caroline severely.
"Gosh, I only had about two! Or maybe three," said Sara, "and sausages never gave me anything before."
"I don't suppose you ever ate so many at one sitting before," Caroline suggested.
From BERNESE ADVENTURE, Chapter 4.
