Felicity might be rather jealous of the Story Girl 's gift , but she was furious at beholding `` one of our family '' made ridiculous in such a fashion . `` You have less sense than anyone I ever heard of , Sara Ray . '' Poor Sara dissolved in tears . `` I did n't know . I thought she was stuck , '' she wailed again . She cried all the way home , but we did not try to comfort her . We felt quite out of patience with her . Even Cecily was seriously annoyed . This second blunder of Sara 's was too much even for her loyalty . We saw her turn in at her own gate and go sobbing up her lane with no relenting . The Story Girl was home before us , having fled from the schoolhouse as soon as the programme was over . We tried to sympathize with her but she would not be sympathized with . `` Please do n't ever mention it to me again , '' she said , with compressed lips . `` I never want to be reminded of it . Oh , that little IDIOT ! '' `` She spoiled Peter 's sermon last summer and now she 's spoiled your recitation , '' said Felicity . `` I think it 's time we gave up associating with Sara Ray . '' `` Oh , do n't be quite so hard on her , '' pleaded Cecily . `` Think of the life the poor child has to live at home . I know she 'll cry all night . ''
