Then she laid it down and looked about her in astonishment . `` Well , did ever any mortal ! '' she said . `` What in the world is the matter ?

'' `` I never was acquainted with her , '' said Dan sulkily . `` And I was n't hurrahing because she is dead . I hurrahed because that blue chest is to be opened at last .
