'' Felicity picked up the Enterprise and betook herself to the house . We awaited her return in dire suspense . `` Well , what does she say ? '' asked Cecily tremulously . `` She said , ` Run away and do n't bother me . I have n't any time for your nonsense . ' '' responded Felicity in an injured tone . `` And I said , ` But , ma , the paper SAYS to-morrow is the Judgment Day , ' and ma just said ` Judgment Fiddlesticks ! ' '' `` Well , that 's kind of comforting , '' said Peter . `` She ca n't put any faith in it , or she 'd be more worked up . '' `` If it only was n't PRINTED ! '' said Dan gloomily . `` Let 's all go over and ask Uncle Roger , '' said Felix desperately . That we should make Uncle Roger a court of last resort indicated all too clearly the state of our minds . But we went . Uncle Roger was in his barn-yard , hitching his black mare into the buggy . His copy of the Enterprise was sticking out of his pocket . He looked , as we saw with sinking hearts , unusually grave and preoccupied .
