"Yes, I guessed pretty nearly right."

"Do you suppose they'll keep the room locked after they are married?"
asked Cecily.

"Oh, no. I can tell you that much. It is to be Miss Reade's own
particular sitting room."

"Why, then, perhaps we'll see it some time ourselves, when we go
to see Miss Reade," cried Cecily.

"I'd be frightened to go into it," confessed Sara Ray. "I hate
things with mysteries. They always make me nervous."

"I love them. They're so exciting," said the Story Girl.

"Just think, this will be the second wedding of people we know,"
reflected Cecily. "Isn't that interesting?"

"I only hope the next thing won't be a funeral," remarked Sara Ray
gloomily. "There were three lighted lamps on our kitchen table
last night, and Judy Pineau says that's a sure sign of a funeral."

"Well, there are funerals going on all the time," said Dan.

"But it means the funeral of somebody you know. I don't believe
in it--MUCH--but Judy says she's seen it come true time and again.
I hope if it does it won't be anybody we know very well. But I
hope it'll be somebody I know a LITTLE, because then I might get
to the funeral. I'd just love to go to a funeral."
