Old Mr. Scott finally arrived at the church , pretty hot and dusty , and in none too good a temper . He went into the pulpit , leaned over it and looked at his wife , sitting calmly in her pew at the side . '' ` It was cleverly done , ' he said , right out loud , ` BUT DINNA TRY IT AGAIN ! ' '' In the midst of our laughter Pat came down the Walk , his stately tail waving over the grasses . He proved to be the precursor of Dan , clothed and in his right mind . `` Do you think you should have got up , Dan ? '' said Cecily anxiously . `` I had to , '' said Dan . `` The window was open , and it was more 'n I could stand to hear you fellows laughing down here and me missing it all . ` Sides , I 'm all right again . I feel fine . '' `` I guess this will be a lesson to you , Dan King , '' said Felicity , in her most maddening tone . `` I guess you wo n't forget it in a hurry . You wo n't go eating the bad berries another time when you 're told not to . '' Dan had picked out a soft spot in the grass for himself , and was in the act of sitting down , when Felicity 's tactful speech arrested him midway . He straightened up and turned a wrathful face on his provoking sister . Then , red with indignation , but without a word , he stalked up the walk . `` Now he 's gone off mad , '' said Cecily reproachfully . `` Oh , Felicity , why could n't you have held your tongue ? '' `` Why , what did I say to make him mad ? ''
asked Felicity XXXXX honest perplexity .
