`` I wonder where we 'll all be this time to-morrow night , '' said Felix mournfully , as we watched the sunset between the dark fir boughs . It was an ominous sunset . The sun dropped down amid dark , livid clouds , that turned sullen shades of purple and fiery red behind him . `` I hope we 'll be all together , wherever we are , '' said Cecily gently . `` Nothing can be so very bad then . '' `` I 'm going to read the Bible all to-morrow forenoon , '' said Peter . When Aunt Olivia came out to go home the Story Girl asked her permission to stay all night with Felicity and Cecily . Aunt Olivia assented lightly , swinging her hat on her arm and including us all in a friendly smile . She looked very pretty , with her big blue eyes and warm-hued golden hair . We loved Aunt Olivia ; but just now we resented her having laughed at us with Aunt Janet , and we refused to smile back . `` What a sulky , sulky lot of little people , '' said Aunt Olivia , going away across the yard , holding her pretty dress up from the dewy grass . Peter resolved to stay all night with us , too , not troubling himself about anybody 's permission . When we went to bed it was settling down for a stormy night , and the rain was streaming wetly on the roof , as if the world , like Sara Ray , were weeping because its end was so near . Nobody forgot or hurried over his prayers that night . We would dearly have loved to leave the candle burning , but Aunt Janet 's decree regarding this was as inexorable as any of Mede and Persia . Out the candle must go ; and we lay there , quaking , with the wild rain streaming down on the roof above us , and the voices of the storm wailing through the writhing spruce trees . CHAPTER XX . THE JUDGMENT SUNDAY Sunday morning broke , dull and gray . The rain had ceased , but the clouds hung dark and brooding above a world which , in its windless calm , following the spent storm-throe , seemed to us to be waiting `` till judgment spoke the doom of fate . '' We were all up early .
None of us , it appeared , had slept well , and some of us not XXXXX all .
