I recall Peter standing on the Pulpit Stone , one night ere moonrise , and pointing them out to us , occasionally having a difference of opinion with the Story Girl over the name of some particular star . Job 's Coffin and the Northern Cross were to the west of us ; south of us flamed Fomalhaut . The Great Square of Pegasus was over our heads . Cassiopeia sat enthroned in her beautiful chair in the north-east ; and north of us the Dippers swung untiringly around the Pole Star . Cecily and Felix were the only ones who could distinguish the double star in the handle of the Big Dipper , and greatly did they plume themselves thereon . The Story Girl told us the myths and legends woven around these immemorial clusters , her very voice taking on a clear , remote , starry sound as she talked of them . When she ceased , we came back to earth , feeling as if we had been millions of miles away in the blue ether , and that all our old familiar surroundings were momentarily forgotten and strange . That night when he pointed out the stars to us from the Pulpit Stone was the last time for several weeks that Peter shared our toil and pastime . The next day he complained of headache and sore throat , and seemed to prefer lying on Aunt Olivia 's kitchen sofa to doing any work . As it was not in Peter to be a malingerer he was left in peace , while we picked apples . Felix alone , must unjustly and spitefully , declared that Peter was simply shirking . `` He 's just lazy , that 's what 's the matter with him , '' he said . `` Why do n't you talk sense , if you must talk ? '' said Felicity . `` There 's no sense in calling Peter lazy . You might as well say I had black hair . Of course , Peter , being a Craig , has his faults , but he 's a smart boy . His father was lazy but his mother has n't a lazy bone in her body , and Peter takes after her . '' `` Uncle Roger says Peter 's father was n't exactly lazy , '' said the Story Girl . `` The trouble was , there were so many other things he liked better than work . ''
`` I wonder XXXXX he 'll ever come back to his family , '' said Cecily .
Of after around as for if on than that with
