BLUE REEFERS by ELIZABETH ASHE

from 1001 Stories From The Gilded Age Hosted by me

I found this gem in a collection called Atlantic Narratives. It was written circa 1915 and tells the story from a little girls point of view as she gets a part in a Christmas Pageant and does her best to make her mom and dad proud. Of coursem the critical Aunt Emma, always overly proud of her 7 year old daughter who is also taking part, can't resist making a snide remark when our narrator forgets to remove her overcoat for her speaking part. Some famil humory mixed with a hoped-for comeuppance. Anne returns next Sunday as we move into the ho0lidays with lots of family-themed shows for your enjoyment.
