The day after his birthday, Billy begins to write a letter to his mother thanking her for the gift and telling her about his modest yet enjoyable birthday party. He also tells her about Alice being crowned May Queen and says that he was chosen as one of her ‘subjects’, but left out any details regarding his outfit. As with the other letters he’d written, Mrs Postlethwaite reads through it before allowing him to send it. She claims it’s so she can check his spelling and handwriting, but Billy suspects it’s to make sure he’s not spilling the beans about having to be a girl. “Your handwriting’s lovely Billy.” Mrs Postlethwaite compliments, “Very elegant!” she adds before pointing out a couple of minor grammatical errors.
