Uncle Roger burned his last night and it was such fun . `` Pat is splendid . He has never had a sick spell since that bad one . I would send him over to be company for you , but Aunt Janet says no , because he might carry the measles back . I do n't see how he could , but we must obey Aunt Janet . She is very good to us all , but I know she does not approve of me . She says I 'm my father 's own child . I know that does n't mean anything complimentary because she looked so queer when she saw that I had heard her , but I do n't care . I 'm glad I 'm like father . I had a splendid letter from him this week , with the darlingest pictures in it . He is painting a new picture which is going to make him famous . I wonder what Aunt Janet will say then . `` Do you know , Peter , yesterday I thought I saw the Family Ghost at last . I was coming through the gap in the hedge , and I saw somebody in blue standing under Uncle Alec 's tree . How my heart beat ! My hair should have stood up on end with terror but it did n't . I felt to see , and it was lying down quite flat . But it was only a visitor after all . I do n't know whether I was glad or disappointed . I do n't think it would be a pleasant experience to see the ghost .
But XXXXX I had seen it think what a heroine I would be !
