`` Because of the measles in Markdale , '' sobbed Sara . `` She says Markdale is full of them , and there 'll be sure to be some of the Markdale people at the show . So I 'm not to go . And I 've never seen a magic lantern -- I 've never seen ANYTHING . '' `` I do n't believe there 's any danger of catching measles , '' said Felicity . `` If there was we would n't be allowed to go . '' `` I wish I COULD get the measles , '' said Sara defiantly . `` Maybe I 'd be of some importance to ma then . '' `` Suppose Cecily goes down with you and coaxes your mother , '' suggested the Story Girl . `` Perhaps she 'd let you go then . She likes Cecily . She does n't like either Felicity or me , so it would only make matters worse for us to try . '' `` Ma 's gone to town -- pa and her went this afternoon -- and they 're not coming back till to-morrow . There 's nobody home but Judy Pineau and me . '' `` Then , '' said the Story Girl , `` why do n't you just go to the show anyhow ? Your mother wo n't ever know , if you coax Judy to hold her tongue . '' `` Oh , but that 's wrong , '' said Felicity . `` You should n't put Sara up to disobeying her mother . '' Now , Felicity for once was undoubtedly right . The Story Girl 's suggestion WAS wrong ; and if it had been Cecily who protested , the Story Girl would probably have listened to her , and proceeded no further in the matter .
