The Flying Roll
Marigold and Billy run away from church. Their Aunt Min wants them to write a synopsis of the sermon, and Billy proposes to copy it out of a book he borrowed, The Flying Roll.
“I’ll just write it. This Flying Roll book is full of sermons. I read some dandy ones in it one day down at Dixons’ before you came. We’ll just write a snopsis of one of them, and Aunt Min will never know the difference.”
- Magic for Marigold, ch. 20
