`` I tell you , it was a lucky thing we got to Peg Bowen 's , '' said Dan . `` Miss Marwood says there is no such thing as luck , '' protested Cecily . `` We ought to say it was Providence instead . '' `` Well , Peg and Providence do n't seem to go together very well , somehow , '' retorted Dan . `` If Peg is a witch it must be the Other One she 's in co. . with . '' `` Dan , it 's getting to be simply scandalous the way you talk , '' said Felicity . `` I just wish ma could hear you . '' `` Is soap in porridge any worse than tooth-powder in rusks , lovely creature ? '' asked Dan . `` Dan , Dan , '' admonished Cecily , between her coughs , `` remember it 's Sunday . '' `` It seems hard to remember that , '' said Peter . `` It does n't seem a mite like Sunday and it seems awful long since yesterday . '' `` Cecily , you 've got a dreadful cold , '' said the Story Girl anxiously . `` In spite of Peg 's ginger tea , '' added Felix . `` Oh , that ginger tea was AWFUL , '' exclaimed poor Cecily . `` I thought I 'd never get it down -- it was so hot with ginger -- and there was so much of it ! But I was so frightened of offending Peg I 'd have tried to drink it all if there had been a bucketful . Oh , yes , it 's very easy for you all to laugh ! You did n't have to drink it . ''
`` We had to eat two meals , though , '' XXXXX Felicity with a shiver .
