This paper extends the language of the author's ``A story semantics for implication'' [Notre Dame J. Formal Logic 27, 221-246 (1986; Zbl 0612.03005)] by adding an operator `The story X says that A', as in `The story \underbar{Through the Looking-Glass} says that Alice liked the White Knight'. The resulting language is shown to be sound and complete. Fictional and impossible objects are permitted: quantification is essentially substitutional. There are too many misprints.
