“I think the church is beautiful,” whispered Nan to Sister Julia.

“I knew you would like it,” Sister Julia whispered back.

“What do you mean by that?” Harry asked, with knitted eyebrows.

“I would rather you would not talk any more now,” Sister Julia interrupted, for she could see that the children's stage whispers were audible several pews away.
