`` I think Sara is just as mean as mean when she wo n't tell us . '' `` I ca n't , '' repeated the Story Girl patiently . `` You said one time you had an idea who ` Alice ' was , '' I said . `` Was your idea anything like the truth ? '' `` 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 . `` Is n't that interesting ? '' `` I only hope the next thing wo n'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 XXXXX , '' said Dan .
