HERMIONE TAKES UP LITERATURE
WE'VE been going in for Astrological Research lately—our Little Group of Modern Thinkers, you know—and we've picked our own personal stars.
Only it seems such a shame, doesn't it, that one isn't allowed to change stars? Keeping the same star all your life is rather monotonous, don't you think?
Though, of course, if one changed and got some one else's star things might be frightfully complicated, mightn't they?
But it would make a charming little story, wouldn't it, for a girl to change stars, you know, and find that her new star belonged to some quite nice young man, and, of course, after that, their destinies would be one.
I get some of the most original plots for stories!
Fothergil Finch has often said to me that that is one difference between genius and talent. When you have genius, you know, things like that just come to you; but if you only have talent you must work and work for them.
