'' I whispered anxiously . `` Shut up , '' he said . I shut up . Felicity and Cecily were setting out a lunch in the pantry when we were all startled by a loud groan from the sofa . `` Oh , I 'm sick -- I 'm awful sick , '' said Dan abjectly , all the defiance and bravado gone out of him .

'' she demanded . `` I 've got an awful pain here , if that 's where my stomach is , '' moaned Dan , putting his hand on a portion of his anatomy considerably below his stomach . `` Oh -- oh -- oh !
