It's really a serious thing to have a wedding in the family." "I have a note from Sara Ray," said Cecily.

"Judy Pineau brought it up when she brought Mrs.Ray's spoons.

Just let me read it to you:-- DEAREST CECILY:--A DREADFUL MISFORTUNE has happened to me.

Last night I went with Judy to water the cows and in the spruce bush we found a WASPS' NEST and Judy thought it was AN OLD ONE and she POKED IT WITH A STICK.

And it was a NEW ONE, full of wasps, and they all flew out and STUNG US TERRIBLY, on the face and hands.
My face is all swelled up and I can HARDLY SEE out of one eye.
The SUFFERING was awful but I didn't mind that as much as being scared ma wouldn't take me to the wedding.
