`` I dreamed last night that we opened the blue chest , '' said the Story Girl , `` and all the things were there -- the blue china candlestick -- only it was brass in the dream -- and the fruit basket with the apple on it , and the wedding dress , and the embroidered petticoat . And we were laughing , and trying the things on , and having such fun . And Rachel Ward herself came and looked at us -- so sad and reproachful -- and we all felt ashamed , and I began to cry , and woke up crying . '' `` I dreamed last night that Felix was thin , '' said Peter , laughing . `` He did look so queer . His clothes just hung loose , and he was going round trying to hold them on . '' Everybody thought this was funny , except Felix . He would not speak to Peter for two days because of it . Felicity also got into trouble because of her dreams . One night she woke up , having just had a very exciting dream ; but she went to sleep again , and in the morning she could not remember the dream at all . Felicity determined she would never let another dream get away from her in such a fashion ; and the next time she wakened in the night -- having dreamed that she was dead and buried -- she promptly arose , lighted a candle , and proceeded to write the dream down then and there . While so employed she contrived to upset the candle and set fire to her nightgown -- a brand-new one , trimmed with any quantity of crocheted lace . A huge hole was burned in it , and when Aunt Janet discovered it she lifted up her voice with no uncertain sound . Felicity had never received a sharper scolding . But she took it very philosophically . She was used to her mother 's bitter tongue , and she was not unduly sensitive . `` Anyhow , I saved my dream , '' she said placidly . And that , of course , was all that really mattered . Grown people were so strangely oblivious to the truly important things of life . Material for new garments , of night or day , could be bought in any shop for a trifling sum and made up out of hand .
But if a dream escape you , in what market-place the wide world over can you hope XXXXX regain it ?
