Our door was open and in their room across the narrow hall the girls were preparing for bed , and talking rather more loudly than they might have done had they realized how far their sweet , shrill voices carried . `` What do you think of the boys ? '' asked Cecily . `` Beverley is handsome , but Felix is too fat , '' answered Felicity promptly . Felix twitched the quilt rather viciously and grunted . But I began to think I would like Felicity . It might not be altogether her fault that she was vain . How could she help it when she looked in the mirror ? `` I think they 're both nice and nice looking , '' said Cecily . Dear little soul ! `` I wonder what the Story Girl will think of them , '' said Felicity , as if , after all , that was the main thing . Somehow , we , too , felt that it was . We felt that if the Story Girl did not approve of us it made little difference who else did or did not . `` I wonder if the Story Girl is pretty , '' said Felix aloud . `` No , she is n't , '' said Dan instantly , from across the room . `` But you 'll think she is while she 's talking to you . Everybody does . It 's only when you go away from her that you find out she is n't a bit pretty after all . '' The girls ' door shut with a bang . Silence fell over the house .
We drifted into the land of sleep , wondering XXXXX the Story Girl would like us .
