Ca n't you ? '' `` I never heard of such a thing , '' declared Felicity , `` and I do n't believe it . I believe you are just making that up . '' `` Indeed I 'm not . Why , I always supposed everyone thought in colours . It must be very tiresome if you do n't . '' `` When you think of me what colour is it ? '' asked Peter curiously . `` Yellow , '' answered the Story Girl promptly . `` And Cecily is a sweet pink , like those mayflowers , and Sara Ray is very pale blue , and Dan is red and Felix is yellow , like Peter , and Bev is striped . '' `` What colour am I ? '' asked Felicity , amid the laughter at my expense . `` You 're -- you 're like a rainbow , '' answered the Story Girl rather reluctantly . She had to be honest , but she would rather not have complimented Felicity . `` And you need n't laugh at Bev . His stripes are beautiful . It is n't HE that is striped . It 's just the THOUGHT of him . Peg Bowen is a queer sort of yellowish green and the Awkward Man is lilac . Aunt Olivia is pansy-purple mixed with gold , and Uncle Roger is navy blue . ''
