This decision came upon us , as Johnny says , like a bolt from the blue . At first we could n't believe they were not joking . Why , we felt that we simply had to go to Pamelia 's wedding . We had never been to a wedding in our lives and we were just aching to see what it would be like . Besides , we had written a marriage ode to Pamelia and we wanted to present it to her . Johnny was to recite it , and he had been practising it out behind the carriage house for a week . I wrote the most of it . I can write poetry as slick as anything . Johnny helped me hunt out the rhymes . That is the hardest thing about writing poetry , it is so difficult to find rhymes . Johnny would find me a rhyme and then I would write a line to suit it , and we got on swimmingly . When we realized that Father and Mother meant what they said we were just too miserable to live . When I went to bed that night I simply pulled the clothes over my face and howled quietly . I could n't help it when I thought of Pamelia 's white silk dress and tulle veil and flower girls and all the rest . Johnny said it was the wedding dinner he thought about . Boys are like that , you know . Father and Mother went away on the early morning train , telling us to be good twins and not bother Hannah Jane . It would have been more to the point if they had told Hannah Jane not to bother us . She worries more about our bringing up than Mother does . I was sitting on the front doorstep after they had gone when Johnny came around the corner , looking so mysterious and determined that I knew he had thought of something splendid .
`` Sue , '' said Johnny impressively , `` XXXXX you have any real sporting blood in you now is the time to show it .
Besides about after behind from if in on than that
