As old Mrs. Fraser says , ` It 's no deidly . ' It wo n't kill her , but she 'll probably be a pretty miserable girl for two or three days . '' She was . And we were all miserable in company . Aunt Janet investigated the whole affair and the matter of our dream books was aired in family conclave . I do not know which hurt our feelings most -- the scolding we got from Aunt Janet , or the ridicule which the other grown-ups , especially Uncle Roger , showered on us . Peter received an extra `` setting down , '' which he considered rank injustice . `` I did n't tell Cecily to drink the milk , and the cucumber alone would n't have hurt her , '' he grumbled . Cecily was able to be out with us again that day , so Peter felt that he might venture on a grumble . '' ` Sides , she coaxed me to tell her what would be good for dreams . I just told her as a favour . And now your Aunt Janet blames me for the whole trouble . '' `` And Aunt Janet says we are never to have anything to eat before we go to bed after this except plain bread and milk , '' said Felix sadly . `` They 'd like to stop us from dreaming altogether if they could , '' said the Story Girl wrathfully . `` Well , anyway , they ca n't prevent us from growing up , '' consoled Dan . `` We need n't worry about the bread and milk rule , '' added Felicity . `` Ma made a rule like that once before , and kept it for a week , and then we just slipped back to the old way . That will be what will happen this time , too . But of course we wo n't be able to get any more rich things for supper , and our dreams will be pretty flat after this . '' `` Well , let 's go down to the Pulpit Stone and I 'll tell you a story I know , '' said the Story Girl .
We went -- and straightway drank XXXXX the waters of forgetfulness .
As about after for from if in like of that
