Gertrude Chandler Warner Quote

Now, one last idea, said Mr. Alden. He looked at Jessie, with a twinkle in his eye.I heard all about your Mystery Man, he said.He’s not Mystery Man, said Jessie, laughing. But he was nice, wasn’t he?He doesn’t seem like a Mystery Man any more, said Violet. I’d like to see him again sometime.Mr. Alden said, He come to the party tomorrow, if anyone asked him.Very well, said Aunt Jane. I don’t mind having a Mystery Man at my birthday party.Will he fly? asked Jessie.No. He is already here, said Grandfather. He got off the train when I did!And we didn’t even see him, said Benny.Well, he is still a Mystery Man in some ways, isn’t he? said Violet.
