'' `` Do you know , I ca n't make up my mind about that , '' said Paul confidentially . `` Your hair looks old ... I never knew a young person with white hair . But your eyes are as young as my beautiful teacher 's when you laugh . I tell you what , Miss Lavendar '' ... Paul 's voice and face were as solemn as a judge 's ... `` I think you would make a splendid mother . You have just the right look in your eyes ... the look my little mother always had . I think it 's a pity you have n't any boys of your own . '' `` I have a little dream boy , Paul . '' `` Oh , have you really ? How old is he ? '' `` About your age I think . He ought to be older because I dreamed him long before you were born . But I 'll never let him get any older than eleven or twelve ; because if I did some day he might grow up altogether and then I 'd lose him . '' `` I know , '' nodded Paul . `` That 's the beauty of dream-people ... they stay any age you want them .
