The Golden Road

CHAPTER III
4/18

So we were all together, except Sara Ray, who had been invited but whose mother wouldn't let her come.
"Sara Ray's mother is a nuisance," snapped the Story Girl.

"She just lives to make that poor child miserable, and she won't let her go to the party tonight, either." "It is just breaking Sara's heart that she can't," said Cecily compassionately.

"I'm almost afraid I won't enjoy myself for thinking of her, home there alone, most likely reading the Bible, while we're at the party." "She might be worse occupied than reading the Bible," said Felicity rebukingly.
"But Mrs.Ray makes her read it as a punishment," protested Cecily.
"Whenever Sara cries to go anywhere--and of course she'll cry tonight--Mrs.Ray makes her read seven chapters in the Bible.

I wouldn't think that would make her very fond of it.

And I'll not be able to talk the party over with Sara afterwards--and that's half the fun gone." "You can tell her all about it," comforted Felix.
"Telling isn't a bit like talking it over," retorted Cecily.
