(T&G News Service): "Sirena realized that the scarf belonged to her.  It was tied tightly, but with some effort, Sirena managed to remove the wet scarf from the woman's mouth.  Sirena was surprised when the woman still couldn't speak.  Then she saw the wad in her mouth.  It was one of Sirena's handkerchiefs!  Someone really wanted to keep this gal quiet.  She removed the wet wad, held it up and examined it for reasons she didn't understand.  She finally tossed it away.

Sirena waited for an explanation, but none came.  The woman assured her that she would explain everything once untied.  Sirena still thought this was a practical joke and expected her friends to jump out of hiding places.  So, she decided to untie the woman.
