`` When you 've been stumping out elderberries all the afternoon it 'll take more than the Judgment Day to keep you awake all night , '' he said . `` But when I woke up this morning it was just awful . I 'd forgot it for a moment , and then it all came back with a rush , and I was worse scared than before . '' Cecily was pale but brave . For the first time in years she had not put her hair up in curlers on Saturday night . It was brushed and braided with Puritan simplicity . `` If it 's the Judgment Day I do n't care whether my hair is curly or not , '' she said . `` Well , '' said Aunt Janet , when we all descended to the kitchen , `` this is the first time you young ones have ever all got up without being called , and that 's a fact . '' At breakfast our appetites were poor . How could the grown-ups eat as they did ? After breakfast and the necessary chores there was the forenoon to be lived through . Peter , true to his word , got out his Bible and began to read from the first chapter in Genesis . `` I wo n't have time to read it all through , I s ` pose , '' he said , `` but I 'll get along as far as I can . '' There was no preaching in Carlisle that day , and Sunday School was not till the evening . Cecily got out her Lesson Slip and studied the lesson conscientiously . The rest of us did not see how she could do it . We could not , that was very certain . `` If it is n't the Judgment Day , I want to have the lesson learned , '' she said , `` and if it is I 'll feel I 've done what was right . But I never found it so hard to remember the Golden Text before . '' The long dragging hours were hard to endure .
We roamed restlessly about , and went XXXXX and fro -- all save Peter , who still steadily read away at his Bible .
