She had an especial knack for drawing monstrosities ; and I vividly recall the picture of an enormous and hideous lizard , looking like a reptile of the pterodactyl period , which she had dreamed of seeing crawl across the roof of the house . On another occasion she had a frightful dream -- at least , it seemed frightful while she told us and described the dreadful feeling it had given her -- of being chased around the parlour by the ottoman , which made faces at her . She drew a picture of the grimacing ottoman on the margin of her dream book which so scared Sara Ray when she beheld it that she cried all the way home , and insisted on sleeping that night with Judy Pineau lest the furniture take to pursuing her also . Sara Ray 's own dreams never amounted to much . She was always in trouble of some sort -- could n't get her hair braided , or her shoes on the right feet . Consequently , her dream book was very monotonous . The only thing worth mentioning in the way of dreams that Sara Ray ever achieved was when she dreamed that she went up in a balloon and fell out . `` I expected to come down with an awful thud , '' she said shuddering , `` but I lit as light as a feather and woke right up . '' `` If you had n't woke up you 'd have died , '' said Peter with a dark significance . `` If you dream of falling and DO N'T wake you DO land with a thud and it kills you . That 's what happens to people who die in their sleep . '' `` How do you know ? '' asked Dan skeptically . `` Nobody who died in his sleep could ever tell it . '' `` My Aunt Jane told me so , '' said Peter . `` I suppose that settles it , '' said Felicity disagreeably . `` You always say something nasty when I mention my Aunt Jane , '' said Peter reproachfully . `` What did I say that was nasty ? '' cried Felicity . `` I did n't say a single thing . ''
`` Well , it sounded nasty , '' said Peter , who knew XXXXX it is the tone that makes the music .
