My darling niece is clever indeed, in the most mischievous ways, I assure you. No harm, no foul however, if there have been no hurt feelings. I will never turn down an even exchange of sweets. I learn quite a bit of people's tastes this way.

My honest assessment of the biscuits is overall favorable. The flavor was spot on, I enjoyed the strength of the flavor though since you asked for honesty, they were a bit dry. Might I suggest a little less flour and perhaps a touch of honey to mend the problem.

Since it is no longer "today" I am still quite curious to know about your choice to answer the ad, if you do not put much stock in the magazine? Please feel free to ignore my inquiry as it is rather forward, but my curiosity is piqued.
