`` 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 .

But I think it 's splendid to have them . YOU know , Miss Lavendar . Tell me all about your little dream-boy . '' `` He has blue eyes and curly hair . He steals in and wakens me with a kiss every morning . Then all day he plays here in the garden ... and I play with him . Such games as we have . We run races and talk with the echoes ; and I tell him stories . And when twilight comes ... '' `` I know , '' interrupted Paul eagerly . `` He comes and sits beside you ... SO ... because of course at twelve he 'd be too big to climb into your lap ... and lays his head on your shoulder ...
