“There’s another ‘seven,’” Rachel whispered meaningly to Diana, when the grown-up people began to talk amongst themselves....
“The Pyramids are amazing,” Rachel’s mother was saying, after she had been describing what they had seen in Egypt. “Weren’t they counted among the Wonders of the World? I’m not surprised.”
“It was the first Great Pyramid that was one of the Seven Wonders, I think, wasn’t it?” Rachel’s father returned. “What were the others? I don’t believe anyone knows!”
“We do!” exclaimed Rachel, suddenly. She really couldn’t help it.
Her mother and father laughed, but looked surprised.
“Well, what are they?” asked both of them, speaking together.
“There’s the Great Pyramid, and the Hanging Gardens at Babylon, and the Colossus at Rhodes—” began Rachel, very quickly.
“And the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and the Pharos at Alexandria,” added Diana with equal speed.
“And the statue of Jupiter Olympius.”
The last one they said together, almost in the same breath.
