There was no finding it out from the Story Girl . She had a knack of keeping secrets , anyhow ; and , moreover , all that fortnight she was strangely cranky and petulant , and we found it was not wise to tease her . She was not well , so Aunt Olivia told Aunt Janet . `` I do n't know what is the matter with the child , '' said the former anxiously . `` She has n't seemed like herself the past two weeks . She complains of headache , and she has no appetite , and she is a dreadful colour . I 'll have to see a doctor about her if she does n't get better soon . '' `` Give her a good dose of Mexican Tea and try that first , '' said Aunt Janet . `` I 've saved many a doctor 's bill in my family by using Mexican Tea . '' The Mexican Tea was duly administered , but produced no improvement in the condition of the Story Girl , who , however , went on dreaming after a fashion which soon made her dream book a veritable curiosity of literature . `` If we ca n't soon find out what makes Peter and the Story Girl dream like that , the rest of us might as well give up trying to write dream books , '' said Felix discontentedly . Finally , we did find out . Felicity wormed the secret out of Peter by the employment of Delilah wiles , such as have been the undoing of many a miserable male creature since Samson 's day . She first threatened that she would never speak to him again if he did n't tell her ; and then she promised him that , if he did , she would let him walk beside her to and from Sunday School all the rest of the summer , and carry her books for her . Peter was not proof against this double attack . He yielded and told the secret . I expected the Story Girl would overwhelm him with scorn and indignation . But she took it very coolly . `` I knew Felicity would get it out of him sometime , '' she said . `` I think he has done well to hold out this long . ''
Peter and the Story Girl , so it appeared , had wooed wild dreams XXXXX their pillows by the simple device of eating rich , indigestible things before they went to bed .
