But then , Felicity is stupid . It 's not ill-natured of me to say that . It 's just the truth , and you 'd soon find it out for yourselves . I like Felicity very well , but she IS stupid . Cecily is ever so much cleverer . Cecily 's a dear . So is Uncle Alec ; and Aunt Janet is pretty nice , too . '' `` What is Aunt Olivia like ? '' asked Felix . `` Aunt Olivia is very pretty . She is just like a pansy -- all velvety and purply and goldy . '' Felix and I SAW , somewhere inside of our heads , a velvet and purple and gold pansy-woman , just as the Story Girl spoke . `` But is she NICE ? '' I asked . That was the main question about grown-ups . Their looks mattered little to us . `` She is lovely . But she is twenty-nine , you know . That 's pretty old . She does n't bother me much .
Aunt XXXXX says that I 'd have no bringing up at all , if it was n't for her .
